Annual Report on Institutions for the Aged or Infirm, 1998.

摘要

Map I shows that 79 counties are served by nursing care homes. This coverage represents 96.3% of all 82 Mississippi counties leaving 3.7% or 3 counties without nursing home facilities of some type. These counties are: Amite, Carroll, and Issaquena. Since 1981, personal care home data has been shown and discussed separately to give a clearer picture of nursing care homes in Mississippi. Also, the classification of nursing homes was changed in 1981 making comparisons of data collected before and after 1981 difficult. Nursing home classifications changed again in 1989. Now nursing homes are either licensed as skilled nursing facilities, intermediate/care facilities for the mentally retarded, or psychiatric residential treatment facilities.
