For-profit long-term care facilities have significantly higher rates of mortality and hospital admissions than their not-for-profit counterparts, new research has found.
The study examined admissions at 384 for-profit and 256 not-for-profit long-term care facilities in Ontario, Canada, between January 2010 and March 2012. One year after admission, the for-profit facilities showed an overall mortality rate of 207.5 residents per 1,000 person-years, compared to a rate of 184 for not-for-profit facilities. The hospitalization rate for for-profit facilities at the one year mark was 462.4 per 1,000 person-years, while the rate for not-for-profit facilities was 358.0.
