Nursing homes are considered to be "group quarters," which makes them eligible for advance visits. The Group Quarters Advance Visit began on February 1 and will continue through March 19. After this visit, census workers will return to count each facility's residents and classify the type of group quarters.
A few additional tips on how the census works in nursing homes:
- Ideally, residents should complete the census forms themselves. If they are unable to do so, a census worker or staff member may help them.
- Because nursing home residents are included in the facility's count, family members of nursing home residents are asked to leave residents off their own census forms, even if they will later return home. Otherwise, residents might be counted twice.
