Nursing Facilities, Staffing, Residents and Facility Deficiencies, 2009 Through 2016

Nursing facilities are one part of the long-term care delivery system that also includes home and community based services, but their relatively high cost has led them to be the focus of much attention from policymakers. Medicaid plays a major role in financing nursing facility care in the United States, and policy proposals to limit federal financing for Medicaid may lead to cuts in eligibility or scope of coverage for long-term care services. In addition, regulations effective November 2016 aimed to address longstanding challenges in quality and safety in nursing facilities. As the demand for long term care continues to increase and policy proposals and regulations unfold, the characteristics, capacity, and care quality of facilities remain subjects of concern among consumers and policy makers.

These tables provide information on recent trends in nursing facilities in the United States, drawing on data from the federal On-line Survey, Certification, and Reporting system (OSCAR) and Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER), to provide information on nursing facility characteristics, resident characteristics, facility staffing, and deficiencies by state from 2009 through 2016. The accompanying report, Nursing Facilities, Staffing, Residents and Facility Deficiencies, 2009 Through 2016, analyzes recent trends and discusses findings in light of recent policy debates and developments. These tables provide additional detail on the information presented in the report. For more information on the surveys and methods underlying the data in this report, see the Appendix at the end of the main report.
