Ethnicity of long-term care users by setting U.S.

In the United States, adult day center users were disproportionately more ethnically and racially diverse than the general population over 65 years in 2020. There was also a disproportionately high share of non-Hispanic Black patients in long-term care (LTC) hospitals. Meanwhile, White, non-Hispanic residents dominated assisted living communities, more so than other LTC services.
