Where are the new Green Nursing Homes in the U.S?

Nursing Homes in the US

  • Can someone tell me the number of nursing homes there are in the US? I would like the number for the most recent year possible, but anything after 2000 will be acceptable.

  • Answer:

    I've gathered some recent figures for you. From a CDC publication called "Health, United States, 2004": "Nursing homes... 1995 2000 2002 United States 16,389 16,886 16,491" Nursing homes, beds, occupancy, and residents, according to geographic division and State: United States, 1995?2002 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus04trend.pdf#113 From Wikipedia's entry on "Nursing homes": "In April, 2005 there were a total of 16,094 nursing homes in the United States, down from 16,516 in December, 2002." Wikipedia: Nursing Homes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_homes My Google search strategy: Google Web Search: "nursing home statistics" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22nursing+home+statistics%22 Google Web Search: "nursing homes" "united states" "16000..18000" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22nursing+homes%22+%22united+states%22+%2216000..18000%22 I hope this is helpful! If anything is unclear or incomplete, or if a link doesn't work for you, please request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud
