摘要

During June-August 1969 the Division of Health Resources Statistics conducted Resident Places Survey-3 (RPS-3). The purpose of this survey was to update the statistics from the 1964 Resident Places Survey-2 and to show changes which have occurred in the 5-year period and since the beginning of medicare. RPS-3 was a sample survey of establishments in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) which provide nursing and personal care to the aged and chronically ill. Data collected in this survey were about the sample establishment itself, the health characteristics of a sample of the patients or residents, the administrator of the establishment, and a sample of the employees. This report, on characteristics of nursing and personal care home administrators, presents estimates based on information obtained by questionnaire from the person who was designated as administrator by the owner or operator of each sample establishment. The survey was designed so that only one administrator was designated for each establishment.
