Nursing Home Ratings & Occupancy by State: How Full Are They Now?

More than 1.2 million people live in nursing homes across the U.S. How do you find out how they're doing in your state? Our new Nursing Home Domain on the National Aging Readiness dashboard brings it all together: the number of nursing homes, staffing, quality ratings, certified beds, and occupancy — for all 50 states, with trends dating back to 2019. Compare states side by side. Rank them by any measure. Filter by ownership or by urban vs. rural.

And the capacity numbers tell an urgent story. In some states, nearly every certified bed is already occupied. Be sure to check out the data here.
