Description:This report, comparing nursing home residents and discharges, presents provisional. estimates from the 1977 National Nursing Home Survey (NNHS) conducted by the National Center for the Health Statistics. It is a nation-wide sample survey of nursing homes describing the facilities. and their costs and the characteristics of the residents, the discharges, and the staff.
The survey is the second in an ongoing NNHS system. The first survey was conducted between August 1973 and April 1974. The data for the 1977 NNHS were collected from May through December 1977 with a midpoint of August 1977. The estimates are provisional, since they are based on a subsample of about 340 of the 1,700 facilities in the national survey. Nursing homes included in the survey were nursing care homes, personal care homes (with and without nursing), and domiciliary care homes as classified by the 1973 Master FaciIity Inventory.2 In addition, all nursing homes that opened for business between 1973 and December 1976 were included. Another Advance Data presenting provisional estimates of facility and staff characteristics will be published shortly.
