Next Steps• 2012 wave provides a baseline to examine trends in future

waves• Infrastructure in place to collect data for adult day services

centers and assisted living and similar residential care communities

• Potential to add sectors, collect primary data on other sectors, or add content to current surveys

• Exploring feasibility of person-level sampling and data collection

• Just completed 2nd wave of survey data collection• Aim to start publishing results using 2014 data by end of 2015• Working to produce public-use survey files
