Nursing Home Characteristics & Patterns
November 2014. There are now approximately 16,500 operational nursing homes in the U.S. This section provides access to data about individual nursing homes in context with related geographic, demographic and economic data. Soon this section will be updated with a national scope interactive table (see related tables). Download and use a GIS project to examine how these data can be used for visual and geospatial analysis. See about the Hawaii GIS project that integrates nursing home data in shapefile structure. See about nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Join us in a Web session (Healthcare Analytics) focused on using these data in combination with other data. Characteristics of the Nursing Home Population Learn more about the nursing home population by selected type of geographic area using the American Community Survey data (see ACS 2013). The nursing home population is categorized as a group quarters population in the ACS. The ACS provides many other nursing related data such as population by occupation in nursing and other healthcare occupations. Non-profit Nursing Homes  View created using CV XE GIS.
