Survey description
The National Master Facility Inventory Survey (NMFI) is a comprehensive list of facilities
in the United States that provide medical, nursing, personal, or custodial care to groups
of unrelated persons on an inpatient basis.
Data file description
Each file contains the name and address of the facility. Earlier files included hospitals,
nursing and related care homes, and other inpatient health facilities. The most recent
files include only nursing and related care homes. In 1986, the name of the survey was
changed to the Inventory of Long-Term Care Places because the survey was expanded to
include facilities for the mentally challenged.
