Long-term Care: Perceptions, Experiences, and Attitudes Among Americans 40 or Older

This report, released April, 2013, summarizes the results of a national survey conducted by Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs (University of Chicago).

The research focused on understanding experiences and attitudes of older Americans as they begin to plan for their own care and interact with the long-term care system. The survey asked Americans 40 years or older what they believe about their need for long-term care, the costs of this service, and how these issues fit into their concerns about growing older.
