GAO          Uited States

             Washuaton, D.C. 20648

             Human Resources Division



             B-248045


             April 1, 1992


             The Honorable Edward Roybal
             Chairman, Subcommittee on Health
                and Long-Term Care
              Select Committee on Aging
              House of Representatives

              The Honorable Ron Wyden
              House of Representatives

              During GAO's testimony at the Subcommittee hearing on the
              use of medications in board and care homes for the elderly,
              on March 13, 1992, you requested additional information.'
              You asked us to determine how many individuals within the
              Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are involved
              in issues related to board and care homes for the elderly.
              To provide this information, we interviewed HHS officials
              and reviewed selected data developed in preparation for GAO's
              recent testimony. We did this work during a 2-week period
              in March, 1992.

              Background

              The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
              Evaluation (ASPE) leads HHS involvement in issues related
              to board and care homes for theelderly. However, at least
              eight other units within HHS have direct or indirect
              involvement with these issues. Enclosure I lists those units
              and their responsibilities.

              Task forces within HHS also address topics that indirectly
              affect board and care home issues. An example of





              'Board and Care Homes: Medication Mishandling Places Elderly

              at Risk (GAO/T-HRD-92-16, March 13, 1992.)
