Nursing Home Compare has detailed information about every Medicare and Medicaid nursing home in the country. A nursing home is a place for people who can’t be cared for at home and need 24-hour nursing care. These are the official datasets used on the Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare Website provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These data allow you to compare the quality of care at every Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including over 15,000 nationwide.

The 2004 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS), conducted between August and December of 2004, was reintroduced into the field after a five-year break, during which time the survey was redesigned and expanded to collect many new data items. All nursing homes that participated in the NNHS had at least three beds and were either certified (by Medicare or Medicaid) or had a state license to operate as a nursing home. The redesigned survey was administered using a computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) system and included a supplemental survey of nursing assistants employed by nursing homes, the National Nursing Assistant Survey (NNAS), which was sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (APSE).

The National Nursing Home Survey provides information on nursing homes from two perspectives-that of the provider of services and that of the recipient of care. Data about the facilities include characteristics such as size, ownership, Medicare/Medicaid certification, services provided and specialty programs offered, and charges. For recipients, data were obtained on demographic characteristics, health status and medications taken, services received, and sources of payment.

Data for the survey were obtained through personal interviews with facility administrators and designated staff who used administrative records to answer questions about the facilities, staff, services and programs, and medical records to answer questions about the residents.

The total number of nursing home facilities that participated in NNHS is 1,174 and the total number of nursing assistants that participated in the National Nursing Assistant Survey is 3,017.

The PA Nursing Homes dataset includes facilities for people who don't need to be in a hospital but can't be cared for at home. When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each nursing home. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99").

Updated weekly on Thursdays Older adults and people with disabilities who live in long term care facilities are at high risk for COVID-19 illness and death. The data below describes the impacts of COVID-19 on the residents and staff of Long Term Care Facilities licensed by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), including Skilled Nursing Facilities (nursing homes); Adult Family Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. Cases and deaths are also occurring in other forms of senior housing not licensed by DSHS, including subsidized housing for people age 50+, Permanent Supportive Housing, and naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) and among people with disabilities living in Supportive Living Facilities (also licensed by DSHS).

The 2004 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS), conducted between August and December of 2004, was reintroduced into the field after a five-year break, during which time the survey was redesigned and expanded to collect many new data items. The 2004 NNHS included a supplemental survey of nursing assistants employed by nursing homes, the National Nursing Assistant Survey (NNAS), which was sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (APSE). Nursing assistants were considered eligible to participate in the survey if they 1) provided assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs); 2) were paid to provide those services; 3) were certified (or in the process of certification) to provide Medicare/Medicaid reimbursable services; 4) worked at least 16 hours per week; and 5) were employees of the nursing home and not contract employees. A sample of up to eight nursing assistants was selected from about half of the nursing home sample at the time of the facility interview. The NNAS was administered after the nursing home visit, using a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) system.

This data package contains information about Measures of Rehospitalization, Emergency Visit and Community Discharge for Medicare Beneficiaries. It also includes Nursing Home Compare information on Deficiencies, Fire Safety Deficiencies, MDS Quality Measures, Ownership information, Fines and Payment denial, Provider Information, State Averages and Survey Summary information about nursing homes.

These organizations provide residential living specifically for those with memory loss or dementia and who are not able to or do not wish to live at home. Residential memory care provides a safe, supervised setting where residents are supported with independent activities of daily living (IADLs). Individuals who need more support for activities of daily living and hands-on nursing care may be able to live in assisted living memory units depending on the level of service available. Alternatively, they may require more hands-on support that is provided in dedicated nursing home memory care units. Residential care for persons with dementia is paid out of personal funds or through long-term care insurance. For some individuals, Medicaid may cover the cost of long-term care in specific institutions.

This dataset provides information gathered in 1973 from facilities providing nursing care to their residents. Nursing homes, their staff, and residents were surveyed. Data from the facility questionnaire include services offered, type of ownership, total number of beds, total number of residents, whether facility participated in Medicare and Medicaid, 1972 admissions, discharges, and deaths, number of patients receiving specific services and treatments, number of physicians, staff hours and payroll, and expenses. The resident questionnaire generated information on each resident's age, race, marital status, date of admission, prior living arrangements, reason for admission, diagnosis, chronic conditions, services received, medication, assistance with daily activities, frequency of doctor visits, and source of payment. The staff questionnaire data include sex, race, occupation, hours worked per week, salary, and education.

A nursing home is commonly referred to as a skilled nursing facility, long term care (LTC) facility, or rest home, and may have a different standardized name throughout the United States, but is most commonly referred to as a nursing home. A nursing home traditionally offers 24-hour (skilled) nursing to the elderly or to disabled patients having a variety of medical conditions who require personal care services above that of an assisted living but do not require hospitalization. The personal care services provided may or may not include, but are not limited to: skilled nursing, long term inpatient care, room and board, meals, laundry, and assistance with: dressing, grooming, getting in and out of bed, medications, bathing, and toileting. For purposes of this dataset, an assisted living facility is defined as a facility where the elderly, who are not related to the operator, reside and receive care, treatment, or services. Although not at the level of a nursing home, the services are above the level of an independent living community. They may include several hours per week of supportive care, personal care, or nursing care per resident. Generally, an assisted living facility offers help in daily living (laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and personal assistance (bathing, eating, clothing, etc.). Many assisted living facilities offer assistance with medication and a lesser level of nursing care than what is offered at a nursing home. Assisted living facilities may be regulated by size restrictions depending on which type of assisted living facility it is considered to be in the state in which it exists. For example, Adult Family Homes in Wisconsin have between 3-4 elderly residents while Community Based Residential Facilities have 5 or more. Almost every state has different terminology to describe their version of the assisted living facility system. The structures in which assisted living facilities exist are varied as well. Depending on the type, an assisted living facility may operate out of a personal residence or a nursing home style structure, and it may be set up as apartment style living or as a campus setting in a continuing care retirement community. Multiple assisted living facilities may exist at one location or may be co-located with nursing homes and/or other similar health care facilities. If a facility is licensed by a state and holds multiple licenses, it is represented once in this dataset for each license, even if the licenses are for the same location. This dataset does not include retirement communities, adult daycare facilities, or rehabilitation facilities. Nursing Homes that are operated by and co-located with a hospital are also excluded because the locations are included in the hospital dataset. Records with "-DOD" appended to the end of the [NAME] value are located on a military base, as defined by the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) military installations and military range boundaries. "#" and "*" characters were automatically removed from standard fields populated by TechniGraphics. Double spaces were replaced by single spaces in these same fields. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] field. Based on this field, the oldest record dates from 09/22/2009 and the newest record dates from 01/08/2010.

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of nursing homes located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population.

A care home is a place where personal care and accommodation are provided together. People may live in the service for short or long periods. For many people, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it. Both the care that people receive and the premises are regulated.

In addition, qualified nursing care is provided to ensure that the full needs of the person using the service are met.

Examples of services that fit under this category:

Nursing home Convalescent home with nursing Respite care with nursing Mental health crisis house with nursing

Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.

Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

On an annual basis (calendar year), individual LTC facilities report facility-level data on services capacity, utilization, patients, and capital/equipment expenditures.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services - Nursing HomesThis feature layer, utilizing data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), displays the locations of nursing homes in the U.S. Nursing homes provide a type of residential care. They are a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Per CMS, "Nursing homes, which include Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) and Nursing Facilities (NFs), are required to be in compliance with Federal requirements to receive payment under the Medicare or Medicaid programs. The Secretary of the United States Department of Health & Human Services has delegated to the CMS and the State Medicaid Agency the authority to impose enforcement remedies against a nursing home that does not meet Federal requirements." This layer includes currently active nursing homes, including number of certified beds, address, and other information.Bridgepoint Sub-Acute and Rehab Capitol HillData downloaded: August 1, 2024Data source: Provider InformationData modification: This dataset includes only those facilities with addresses that were appropriately geocoded.For more information: Nursing homes including rehab servicesFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comCenters for Medicare & Medicaid ServicesPer USA.gov, "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides health coverage to more than 100 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. The CMS seeks to strengthen and modernize the Nation’s health care system, to provide access to high quality care and improved health at lower costs."

Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) eligible individuals are those who are enrolled in Medi-Cal and meet the level of care provided in a nursing facility due to their medical needs. Individuals with Medi-Cal benefits that include a share of cost may not enroll in the ALW. This dataset contains the provider number, provider legal name, provider business name, capacity per provider enrollment, provider physical location, provider counties and provider phone number of facilities enrolled in the ALW program.

The Long Term Care Residences point datalayer contains the locations of licensed nursing homes, rest homes and assisted living residences in Massachusetts.Data on nursing homes and rest homes were provided by the Division of Health Care Facility Licensure and Certification and the Bureau of Environmental Health within the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). Information on assisted living residences was provided by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs. The update published in Spring 2019 is based on listings as of Spring 2018, and replaces the Spring 2007 version of this dataset.Long-term care residences provide housing and services for individuals who are managing illness and/or disability attributed to physical and/or mental health conditions. While terminology may vary, generally long-term care facilities are distinguished by the type of medical and custodial (non-medical services such as dressing, bathing, etc.) care they provide, the relative independence of their residents, and the types of on-site amenities. Furthermore, some facilities cater to specific patient populations (e.g. Alzheimer's patients).For the purposes of this datalayer, a nursing home is defined as a residential facility that provides 24-hour nursing care, rehabilitative services and activities of daily living to the chronically ill who require a relatively high level of institutional support. A rest home provides 24-hour supervision and supportive services for individuals who do not routinely need nursing or medical care. Similarly, assisted living residences provide residents with housing and various daily living support services, but usually do not offer medical care. Assisted living residences often emphasize greater autonomy and privacy for residents through individual apartment-style rentals.Other residential facilities that provide long term care such as group homes (i.e. boarding homes or congregate housing) and hospice facilities are not explicitly specified in this datalayer. Many locations in this datalayer, however, may offer additional services ranging from independent retirement living to intensive skilled nursing and palliative care. Non-residential care locations such as adult day health, rehabilitation, and senior centers are omitted.MassGIS stores the data as LONGTERMCARE_PT. The March 2007 update this layer replaced NURSRESTHOMES_PT, which did not contain assisted living residences.MDPH staff used Accumail address correction software to clean and standardize addresses, and then geocoded the lists using TeleAtlas and/or Navteq street centerlines. Wherever possible, MDPH staff adjusted geocoded point locations to better represent actual locations of the facilities. Spatial refinement was done using a variety of sources (orthogonal and oblique aerial imagery, on-line property cards, facility websites, etc.). MassGIS staff performed additional quality assurance and adjusted the location of some features to Master Address Database building points. Attributes were verified and updated by MassGIS staff.

These data show the number of skilled nursing facility residents and employees who were reported to DC Health as having any type of symptom or COVID-19 exposure that prompted a healthcare provider to order a test to determine if they had COVID-19; many of these people were tested when DC Health approval was required for ordering a test through the DC Public Health Laboratory. Resident and personnel loss of life that was associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test has been documented since mid-March 2020; DC Health relies on assisted living facilities to be forthcoming about this information in order for it to be properly documented in public reports. A resident is determined to be "cleared from isolation for COVID-19" if they are still alive and it has been at least 21 days since their initial symptom onset date or first positive specimen collection date for this COVID-19 infection.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains measures that evaluate the quality of care delivered by Health Homes for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With this dataset, you can get an overview of how a health home is performing in terms of quality. You can use this data to compare different health homes and their respective service offerings.

The data used to create this dataset was collected from Medicaid Data Mart, QARR Member Level Files, and New York State Delivery System Incentive Program (DSRIP) Data Warehouse sources.

In order to use this dataset effectively, you should start by looking at the columns provided. These include: Measurement Year; Health Home Name; Domain; Sub Domain; Measure Description; Age Category; Denominator; Rate; Level of Significance; Indicator. Each column provides valuable insight into how a particular health home is performing in various measurements of healthcare quality.

When examining this data, it is important to remember that many variables are included in any given measure and that changes may have occurred over time due to varying factors such as population or financial resources available for healthcare delivery. Furthermore, changes in policy may also affect performance over time so it is important to take these things into account when evaluating the performance of any given health home from one year to the next or when comparing different health homes on a specific measure or set of indicators over time

Research Ideas

• Using this dataset, state governments can evaluate the effectiveness of their health home programs by comparing the performance across different domains and subdomains.
• Healthcare providers and organizations can use this data to identify areas for improvement in quality of care provided by health homes and strategies to reduce disparities between individuals receiving care from health homes.
• Researchers can use this dataset to analyze how variations in cultural context, geography, demographics or other factors impact delivery of quality health home services across different locations

Information on residential care services by type of homes, number of homes, number of places

Statistics Canada, in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Natural Resources Canada, is presenting selected Census data to help inform Canadians on the public health risk of the COVID-19 pandemic and to be used for modelling analysis. The data provided here show the counts of the population in nursing homes and/or residences for senior citizens by broad age groups (0 to 79 years and 80 years and over) and sex, from the 2016 Census. Nursing homes and/or residences for senior citizens are facilities for elderly residents that provide accommodations with health care services or personal support or assisted living care. Health care services include professional health monitoring and skilled nursing care and supervision 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for people who are not independent in most activities of daily living. Support or assisted living care services include meals, housekeeping, laundry, medication supervision, assistance in bathing or dressing, etc., for people who are independent in most activities of daily living. Included are nursing homes, residences for senior citizens, and facilities that are a mix of both a nursing home and a residence for senior citizens. Excluded are facilities licensed as hospitals, and facilities that do not provide any services (which are considered private dwellings).
