Nursing Facility and Residential Care Facility Occupancy

As mandated by legislature as part of the recent moratorium bill, ISDH must determine occupancy rates for January 1 and July 1 of each year. The ISDH did a test run of the system for this past July 1, 2015 and those results are attached in five reports. The first official count from which additional nursing facility beds/facilities could be added in a county that exceeds 90% will be this coming January 1.

Statewide NF occupancy as of July 1, 2015 was 75%.  Residential care facility occupancy was 63% (residential care is not impacted by the moratorium, but the ISDH decided to collect data anyway).  The five reports are:
