Results from the National Tribal Long-Term Care Study December 2008
- Results from the National Tribal Long-Term Care Study
December 2008 (PDF) - Long-term care has become an increasingly important public policy issue. As the number of older adults skyrockets, the proportion of those needing assistance with daily tasks is also expected to increase. The
National Long-Term Care Study was conducted between 2005 to 2007 to obtain a comprehensive understanding
of long-term care service access for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs).
