Assessing the Toll of COVID-19 On New Hampshire’s Long-Term Care Community
Roughly 80 percent of New Hampshire’s deaths from COVID-19 are connected to long-term care facilities — more than any other state in the nation. While even some of the best-equipped long-term care facilities in New Hampshire were caught off-guard by COVID-19, our reporting revealed that some facilities hit hard by the pandemic were previously flagged by state and federal regulators. As part of this project, I created several interactive graphic using publicly available nursing home data, including this tool to help people check out COVID-19 case counts and quality violations reported at every federally licensed nursing home in the state.
