It also includes some congregate living facilities for older adults that are neither nursing homes nor assisted-living facilities.

State notes

Illinois reports long-term care COVID-19 data for Long-Term Care Facilities. CTP puts Long-Term Care facilities data in Lumped or other categories in our dataset. Illinois reports cumulative and outbreak data. Illinois provides facility-level data. Illinois lumps staff and resident cases together and staff and resident deaths together. Data is cumulative since April 17, 2020.    Illinois provides cumulative totals for resident and staff cases and resident and staff deaths.   Illinois provides outbreak data for resident and staff cases and resident and staff deaths and number of facilities with a case. Illinois defines an outbreak as a facility with case(s) in the past 28 days. An outbreak ends when 28 days have passed with no new confirmed case.   Illinois’ facility data often drops deaths from the totals. Please use caution when approaching IL’s facility data and see changes by date for largest drops.  

  • November 26, 2020: CTP was not able to gather outbreak data. Data is carried over from the previous week.
  • October 22, 2021: Number of deaths at facilities decreased by 637.
  • February 11, 2021: Number of deaths at facilities decreased by 2,801.    State source resident and staff cases and deaths and number of facilities with a case can be found on the Illinois Department of Health page.

Because each state reports facility-level data differently, CTP has produced a number of scripts to make the dataset as standardized and comprehensive as possible. This state uses the following scripts: post_processing, standardize_data, collapse_outbreak_rows. More information on each of these scripts can be found in our Airtable Facility Script Annotations.
