The National Center for Health Statistics announces the availability of a new report
"The National Nursing Home Survey: 1997 Summary." This report presents estimates of nursing home facilities, their current residents and discharges in the United States. Data are presented on facility characteristics, demographic characteristics, utilization measures, health and functional status of current residents and discharges. Data in this report are based on data collected from the 1997 National Nursing Home Survey. The survey collects information about providers and recipients of care from nursing home facilities.Data Highlights:
An estimated 1,608,700 current residents and
2,369,000 discharges received care from 17,000
nursing home facilities.
The average per diem rate for private pay
residents was $136.00 for skilled care, $107.00 for intermediate care, and $97.00 for residential
care.
Approximately 58 percent of current nursing home
residents were widowed and 8 percent were single or
never married.
Medicaid was the primary source of payment for
most residents at the time of admission as well
as at the time of the survey.
Immediately before entering the nursing home, 44
percent of the residents were admitted from a hospital, 32 percent came from a private
resident, and 12 percent from another nursing home.
