Nursing homes deaths are way down. They have plummeted, falling by more than 90 percent between late December and March 2021. The main cause is straightforward: Nursing home residents have been among the first people to be vaccinated.
The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the nation, killing more than 174,000 residents and staff of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The AARP Public Policy Institute, created the AARP Nursing Home COVID-19 Dashboard to provide four-week snapshots of the virus’ infiltration into nursing homes and impact on nursing home residents and staff, with the goal of identifying specific areas of concern at the national and state levels in a timely manner.
