State notes

Texas reports long-term care data for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. 

Texas reports cumulative and outbreak data. CTP puts Nursing Home data in the Nursing Home category and Assisted Living in the Assisted Living category. Texas does provide facility level data for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. Texas reports resident cases and resident deaths separately. Texas does not report staff cases or deaths.    Texas provides cumulative totals for resident cases and resident deaths and number of facilities with a case.    Texas provides outbreak totals for resident cases and number of facilities with a case. Texas defines an outbreak as a facility with 1 or more cases in a facility.   All Texas data is self-reported by the facility to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Texas facility-level data reporting usually lags behind 1-3 weeks. The release of facility-level data by Texas is typically delayed by two weeks.  

  • July 29 2020: Texas began reporting active outbreak cases in their Regional Reports for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities. CTP began reporting Texas outbreak data on July 30.   State sources for both Nursing Home and Assisted Living regional reports can be found here.
