Does Service Provider Matter during a Pandemic? COVID-19 Cases and Deaths among Nonprofit vs. For-Profit Assisted Living Facilities in Florida

Apr 1, 2022
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: This study investigated the relationship of ownership (nonprofit vs. for-profit) to Florida assisted living communities’ responses to COVID-19. In total, 672 of 3,019 communities reported at least one positive case by June 2020. Nonprofit communities had fewer cases, although there was no significant difference in resident deaths. Additionally, whether nursing services were provided in the community mattered in protecting residents from COVID-19 infections (i.e., not providing any nursing services was associated with more infections).
