Census 2010: Have Your Residents Been Counted?

The deadline to return census information for your facility is fast approaching! Beginning May 1, census workers will pay a visit to those who have not returned their forms by mail.

Nursing home residents aren't expected to return forms for themselves. Instead, facilities should have been contacted by census workers to obtain the information they need from the facility's roster of residents.

Remember, the families of nursing home residents should leave the resident off their own census form, even if they believe the resident will later return to that address. Otherwise, the resident might be counted twice.
