Abstract
Objective: This report presents estimates on the number and distribution of nursing home facilities, their services, current residents, and discharges in the United States during 1997.
Methods: Data presented in this report are estimates based on a sample of nursing home facilities, residents, and discharges from the 1997 National Nursing Home Survey (NHHS). The survey collects information about providers and recipients of care from nursing home facilities. NHHS has been periodically conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1973.
Results: In 1997 there were an estimated 1.6 million current residents and 2.4 million discharges from 17,000 nursing homes nationwide. These facilities were predominantly proprietary and certified by both Medicare and Medicaid. There was an average of 107 beds per nursing home with an occupancy rate of 88 percent and a discharge rate of 130 patients per 100 beds. The majority of nursing home residents and discharges were elderly, white, and female.
