* Estimate does not meet standard of reliability or precision because the sample size is less than 30. Estimates accompanied by an asterisk (*) indicate that the sample size is between 30 and 59, or

the sample size is greater than 59 but has a relative standard error of 30 percent or more.

Occupancy rate is calculated by dividing residents by available beds.

Estimates for nursing homes that are not certified are not shown because the sample size was less than 30 and figures are unreliable.

NOTES: Numbers may not add to totals because of rounding. Percentages and rates are based on the unrounded numbers.

* Estimate does not meet standard of reliability or precision because the sample size is less than 30. Estimates accompanied by an asterisk (*)indicate that the sample size is between 30 and 59, or the sample size is greater than 59, but has a relative
standard error of 30 percent or more.
Includes contract workers. Contract workers not shown separately due to low estimates.
Full-time equivalents (FTEs) for employee (on staff) registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) were imputed in cases where facilities had missing or outlier values. The threshold of FTEs per 100
beds used to identify outliers for RNs and LPNs was a ratio greater than 30 and, for CNAs, a ratio greater than 100. For each type of nursing staff, imputation for missing and outlier cases was the number of beds at a facility times the mean number of
FTEs per bed calculated for the cases with usable data.

NOTE: Numbers may not add to totals because of rounding.
