These results use all freestanding nursing homes in the continental United States with at least 10 beds (N = 14,894). Characteristics of nursing homes were estimated from the closest inspection to the midpoint of the 2-year time period (ie, November 27, 2018). All F880 deficiencies were summed between November 27, 2017 and November 27, 2019.
