Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary We used the publicly available Nursing Home COVID-19 data released on May-26, 2020 and updated weekly by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). After download on March-1, 2021, we retained data for the period between June-1, 2020 and January-31, 2021 and for nursing homes: i) in all states except Guam and Puerto Rico, ii) that passed the CMS quality assurance check, iii) had no missing occupancy information, and iv) reported data for all weeks in our study period. Following this initial data clean, we created facility-level monthly data (n = 12,473 facilities X 8 months) by aggregating the weekly CMS data. We combined this dataset with Nursing Home Compare data and LTCFocus data. We then merged this facility-month level master dataset with community-level data on urbanity (USDA), social vulnerability (CDC), COVID-19 deaths, population [USA Facts], and core-based statistical area (CBSA) codes [OMB]. The final sample size (n = 99,320), after deletion of nonmatched observations from merging of community-level data, consisted of 12,415 facilities over an 8-month period. The unit of observation of this dataset is facility-month.
