Via a dashboard introduced in early July, AARP displays select measures of nursing home data, including respiratory virus vaccination rates, nurse staffing hours and turnover rates, occupancy rates, for-profit ownership rates, and data on two selected quality measures: antipsychotic usage and pressure ulcers.
The dashboard, according to AARP’s description, continues the work of the AARP Nursing Home COVID-19 Dashboard, which from 2020-2025 tracked the impact of COVID-19 specifically on nursing homes, residents, and staff.
This iteration reflects data for calendar quarters one and two of 2025 (January – March and April – June) drawn from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data files and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).
Included in this online resource are state fact sheets that detail respiratory virus cases over the past three months, vaccination rates, staffing levels, antipsychotic usage and pressure ulcer rates, and facility characteristics to include for profit ownership, resident and family councils, total beds, average daily residents, and occupancy rates. The dashboard and state fact sheets will be updated quarterly.
