Why we are different

What’s the difference between a non-profit long-term care organization versus a for-profit cooperate facility? The difference is care.

A recent study by LeadingAge New York, the association that represents not-for-profit nursing facilities in New York State, found that not-for-profit facilities:

Performed better on most measures than for-profit facilities in the state

Had fewer residents using antipsychotic drugs or with physical restraints

Had more nursing staff and fewer survey deficiencies, and spent more money per day on nursing costs and food

Had lower hospitalization rates and more discharges to home

A review and meta-analysis of 82 studies comparing quality of care in for-profit and not-for-profit nursing facilities reported that nearly all the studies found higher quality, higher staffing, and fewer pressure sores in not-for-profit facilities. Not-for-profit facilities had better outcomes on four key measures of quality:

"More or higher-quality staffing"
Lower prevalence of pressure ulcers
Lower prevalence of restraints
Fewer government-cited deficiencies
