title: Variation in Operating Characteristics of Residential Care Communities, by Size of Community: United States, 2014.
abstract: Assisted living and similar residential care communities provide services to individuals who cannot live independently but generally do not require the skilled level of care provided by nursing homes. In 2014, there were 30,200 residential care communities nationwide (1). This report presents the most current national estimates of residential care community operating characteristics and compares these characteristics by community bed size. State-level estimates for the characteristics presented in this report are available from http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsltcp/nsltcp_products.htm.
