NOTES: Percentages for adult day services centers, nursing homes, and residential care communities were based on the number of users on a given day in 2020. Percentages for home health agencies, hospices, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care hospitals are based on number of patients who ended care at any time in 2020. Percentages are based on unrounded estimates. Percent distributions may not add to 100 due to rounding.
