What We Learned in 2011-2012

2.  Every year in Kentucky, at least 400 people are asked how
they feel about the services they get. They meet with a
person who asks them and their families about how they
are doing.
 This report shows how people answered some of the
questions. The question is at the top of the page. The
answers show how many people said yes and no. There is
also a pie chart and stick figures.
 We use whole numbers (like 20% or 80%). Actual
percentages can be found in the lower right-hand corner of
each slide. If you want to learn more, go to:
