CMS has posted nursing home data for the week ending April 10, 2022.

Comparing the April 10^th data to the previous April 3^rd data shows these changes:

Resident vaccination rate remained unchanged from the previous week (same as past 4 weeks)
Residents with booster doses increased by 0.5% this past week
Staff vaccination rate remained the same as previous week
Staff with booster doses increased by 0.9% this past week
An additional 2,250 resident cases were confirmed/reported this week (double from previous week)
No additional resident deaths were confirmed/reported this week
No additional staff cases were confirmed/reported this week
No additional staff deaths were confirmed/reported this week

The last 3 pieces of data appear to be questionable. We’ll see what next week’s posting of data shows.

Be sure to review your facility’s vaccination rates on the list of every nursing home with recent resident and staff vaccination rates and other pertinent data as this data will be used for completing the COVID-19 Matrix during survey. State surveyors look at this data in preparation for your survey. You’ll also need to know your current rate and provide it to the survey team entering your facility. This data is current as of the week ending April 10, 2022.
