This study combined quality ratings from Nursing Home Compare with state-level data to examine the association between nursing home-reported quality and COVID-19 cases and deaths. After adjusting for nursing home size and the racial composition of the residents, results indicate that nursing homes with higher ratings were less likely to experience COVID-19 cases and deaths.
