Provisional counts of deaths in care homes caused by coronavirus (COVID-19) by local authority. Published by the Office for National Statistics and Care Quality Commission.

Provisional counts of the number of care home resident deaths registered in England and Wales, by region, including deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19), in the latest weeks for which data are available.

In order to improve the timely availability of data related to coronavirus (COVID-19) in adult care homes the Welsh Government and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) have agreed to publish the number of notifications of deaths of adult care home residents involving COVID-19 (both confirmed and suspected). The location of death may be in the care home, in hospital or another location. The data is not based on laboratory confirmed tests, and not directly comparable with Public Health Wales (PHW) data. In their rapid surveillance dashboard, PHW include some notifications received from care homes with a positive laboratory confirmed test for COVID-19. These data cannot be added together. Welsh Government publish this data to ensure access to the CIW data is transparent and to provide a timely indication of trends for all deaths to care home residents in Wales, from COVID-19 or otherwise.

Archived as of 3/16/22: Due to changing LTC reporting requirements, this dataset will no longer be updated after 3/16/2022. For data on Indiana's long term case facilities, please visit: https://data.cms.gov/covid-19/covid-19-nursing-home-data Number of verified COVID-19 related cases and deaths from Long-Term Care Facilities for residents and staff members. Historical case data are aggregated at the facility-level and are reported from 3/1/2020 and updated weekly. Facilities that are in non-compliance with historical case data reporting needs are denoted by "Facility has not submitted data" in the "Facility Submission Status" column. Facilities listed as non-compliant will be updated as necessary with any new submissions of their historical cases to the Indiana State Department of Health. Cases and deaths in this file include records reported by Long-Term Care Facilities and have been verified by ISDH through a positive COVID-19 diagnostic lab result. This data file was constructed to aggregate verified cases and deaths for LTC staff and residents at the facility level. Because residents and staff may be moved between facilities, calculating total verified counts from this data file is not advised. Users should refer to the ISDH LTC dashboard for total counts.

As of May 1 2020, there were over 23 thousand more deaths in care homes in England and Wales than there were on the same date in 2019, with 12.5 thousand of these caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19) and 10.6 thousand due to other causes.

As of 6/1/2023, this data set is no longer being updated. Connecticut nursing homes are required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to report on the impact of COVID-19 on their residents and staff through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This reporting is intended to reflect recent COVID-19 activity in nursing homes. Data presented here from NHSN reflect resident and staff COVID-19 cases and COVID-related deaths reported for Connecticut nursing homes for the previous week, Thursday–Wednesday. All nursing homes follow NHSN definitions and instructions when reporting to the NHSN COVID-19 module, ensuring data are reported in a systematic way. These data do not show where the resident or staff got infected. Detailed information about COVID-19 reporting for nursing homes and NHSN can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/ltc/covid19/index.html

Summary This layer has been DEPRECATED (last updated 12/1/2021). Was formerly a weekly update. The Outbreak-Associated Cases in Congregate Living data dashboard on coronavirus.maryland.gov was redesigned on 11/17/21 to align with other outbreak reporting. Visit https://opendata.maryland.gov/dataset/MD-COVID-19-Congregate-Outbreak/ey5n-qn5s to view Outbreak-Associated Cases in Congregate Living data as reported after 11/17/21. Confirmed COVID-19 deaths among Maryland residents who live and work in congregate living facilities in Maryland for the reporting period. Description The MD COVID-19 - Total Deaths in Congregate Facility Settings data layer is a total of deaths confirmed by a positive COVID-19 test result that have been reported to MDH in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes of 10 or more and state and local facilities for the reporting period. Data are reported to MDH by local health departments, the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services and the Department of Juvenile Services. To appear on the list, facilities report at least one confirmed case of COVID-19 over the prior 14 days. Facilities are removed from the list when health officials determine 14 days have passed with no new cases and no tests pending. The list provides a point-in-time picture of COVID-19 case activity among these facilities. Numbers reported for each facility listed reflect totals ever reported for deaths. Data are updated once weekly.

Nursing homes with residents positive for COVID-19 from 4/22/2020 to 6/19/2020.

Starting in July 2020, this dataset will no longer be updated and will be replaced by the CMS COVID-19 Nursing Home Dataset, available at the following link: https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/CMS-COVID-19-Nursing-Home-Dataset/w8wc-65i5.

Methods: 1) Laboratory-confirmed case counts are based upon data reported via the FLIS web portal. Nursing homes were asked to provide cumulative totals of residents with laboratory confirmed covid. This includes residents currently in-house, in the hospital, or who are deceased. Residents were excluded if they tested positive prior to initial admission to the nursing home. 2) The cumulative number of deaths among nursing home residents is based upon data reported by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. For public health surveillance, COVID-19-associated deaths include persons who tested positive for COVID-19 around the time of death (laboratory-confirmed) and persons whose death certificate lists COVID-19 disease as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death (probable).

Limitations: 1) As of the week of 5/10/20, Point Prevalence Survey testing is being offered to all asymptomatic nursing home residents to inform infection prevention efforts. Point prevalence surveys will be conducted over a period of several weeks. Some nursing homes had adequate testing resources available to conduct surveys prior to this date. Differences in survey timing will impact the number of positive results that a nursing home reports. 2) Cumulative totals of residents testing positive are being collected rather than individual resident data. Thus we cannot verify the counts, de-duplicate, and/or verify whether there is a record of a positive lab test. This may result in either under- or over-counting. 3) The number of COVID-19 positive residents and the number of confirmed deaths among residents are tabulated from different data sources. Due to the timing of availability of test results for deceased residents, it is not appropriate to calculate the percent of cases who died due to COVID-19 at any particular facility based upon this data. 4) The count of deaths reported for 4/14 are not included in this dataset, as they were not broken out by laboratory-confirmed or probable. They can be viewed in the DPH Report here: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Coronavirus/CTDPHCOVID19summary4162020.pdf?la=en

As of September 27, 2020, there were around 125 COVID-19 deaths per 1,000 residents in nursing homes in Massachusetts. This statistic illustrates the rate of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes in the United States as of September 27, 2020, by state.

This dataset contains records of publicly reported data on COVID-19 testing in Ontario long-term care homes. It was collected between April 24, 2020 and March 30, 2023.

Summary data is aggregated to the provincial level. Reports fewer than 5 are indicated with <5 to maintain the privacy of individuals.

Data includes:

• Long-term care home COVID-19 summary data
• Long-term care homes with an active COVID-19 outbreak
• Long-term care homes no longer in a COVID-19 outbreak
• Long-term care home COVID-19 summary data by Public Health Unit (PHU)
• Long-term care home COVID-19 staff vaccination rates

An outbreak is defined as two or more lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in residents, staff or other visitors in a home, with an epidemiological link, within a 14-day period, where at least one case could have reasonably acquired their infection in the long-term care home. Prior to April 7, 2021, the definition required one or more lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in a resident or staff in the long-term care home.

The data is from a mixed-methods approach to address address three main questions:1 What were the mortality rates in care homes by country? 2. How does the mortality in care homes compare with previous periods? 3. What explains any excess mortality in care homes?List of Tables available in FigshareTable 1.

ObjectivesTo assess excess mortality among older adults institutionalized in nursing homes within the successive waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Catalonia (north-east Spain).DesignObservational, retrospective analysis of population-based central healthcare registries.Setting and participantsIndividuals aged >65 years admitted in any nursing home in Catalonia between January 1, 2015, and April 1, 2022.MethodsDeaths reported during the pre-pandemic period (2015–2019) were used to build a reference model for mortality trends (a Poisson model, due to the event counting nature of the variable “mortality”), adjusted by age, sex, and clinical complexity, defined according to the adjusted morbidity groups. Excess mortality was estimated by comparing the observed and model-based expected mortality during the pandemic period (2020–2022). Besides the crude excess mortality, we estimated the standardized mortality rate (SMR) as the ratio of weekly deaths’ number observed to the expected deaths’ number over the same period.ResultsThe analysis included 175,497 older adults institutionalized (mean 262 days, SD 132), yielding a total of 394,134 person-years: 288,948 person-years within the reference period (2015–2019) and 105,186 within the COVID-19 period (2020–2022). Excess number of deaths in this population was 5,403 in the first wave and 1,313, 111, −182, 498, and 329 in the successive waves. The first wave on March 2020 showed the highest SMR (2.50; 95% CI 2.45–2.56). The corresponding SMR for the 2nd to 6th waves were 1.31 (1.27–1.34), 1.03 (1.00–1.07), 0.93 (0.89–0.97), 1.13 (1.10–1.17), and 1.07 (1.04–1.09). The number of excess deaths following the first wave ranged from 1,313 (2nd wave) to −182 (4th wave). Excess mortality showed similar trends for men and women. Older adults and those with higher comorbidity burden account for higher number of deaths, albeit lower SMRs.ConclusionExcess mortality analysis suggest a higher death toll of the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes than in other settings. Although crude mortality rates were far higher among older adults and those at higher health risk, younger individuals showed persistently higher SMR, indicating an important death toll of the COVID-19 in these groups of people.

In the week ending August 27, 2021, there were 10,268 deaths in England and Wales with just over 4.5 thousand taking place in Hospitals. Between April 10 and April 24 of 2020 there were over 15 thousand deaths occurring in care homes, due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
