Pennsylvania: Long-term-care historical data

When reports no data, several days of data, or unusual data (such as decreases in values that should increase), our volunteers note it here on the date the anomaly occurred. We also note here changes in our own methodology that affect the data.

Pennsylvania reports long-term care data for Nursing Homes, Assisted Living and personal care homes. Pennsylvania releases two spreadsheets with facility-level data on a weekly basis: one with Nursing Homes data reported by the PA Department of Health and one with Assisted Living and personal care home data reported by the PA Department of Human Services. However, within these facility-level spreadsheets, some cases and deaths are omitted due to privacy concerns. Pennsylvania also provides a summary chart without facility-level data with cumulative totals for all long-term care cases and deaths. CTP uses this chart. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, this chart is the most accurate source for cumulative data.

Pennsylvania reposts resident and staff cases separately, and only resident deaths. Data is cumulative since March 19, 2020. Data is refreshed weekly. Pennsylvania reports facility-level data.
