Tennessee: Long-term-care historical data

When reports no data, several days of data, or unusual data (such as decreases in values that should increase), our volunteers note it here on the date the anomaly occurred. We also note here changes in our own methodology that affect the data.

Tennessee reports long-term care data for Nursing Homes, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Residential Homes for the Aged which are licensed by the Tennessee Department of Health. Residential Homes for the Aged are put in the other category. Tennessee reports outbreak data for cases and deaths at the facility-level, separated by type of facility. Tennessee defines an outbreak when a facility has 2 or more confirmed cases among residents and staff within 28 days. Data is updated weekly. Tennessee reports facility-level data.
