 Florida Nursing Home
Resident Data 2001 Report
This report prepared by
the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) shows trends in
the characteristics of nursing home residents. Most nursing home
residents discharged in 1998 had a short-term stay not exceeding
100 days. In 1998, more than 86% of nursing home admissions came
from a hospital.
Residents in their early
eighties continued to be the most common age group at admission.
Unspecified diagnoses and musculoskeletal diseases/disorders were
the most frequently reported diagnoses at admission. Nursing home
residents that stayed longer than one year were infrequently
discharged home.
