Description
The COVID Long Term Care Facilities page was obtained from Michigan's COVID-19 data page: https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98163_98173-526911--,00.html.
This report is created by the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services from data self-reported by long-term care facilities into EMResource. Data is updated on an ongoing basis.
The data below represents a cumulative total of confirmed COVID-19 resident cases, cumulative total of suspected and confirmed resident deaths, cumulative total of confirmed COVID-19 staff cases, and cumulative total of suspected and confirmed staff deaths reported by SNFs in Michigan since January 1, 2020. Case numbers are provisional and may change as facilities correct or add data.
In addition, residents and family members should understand that the presence of COVID-19 at a facility is no way an indicator of a facility that isn’t following proper procedures. Families should always feel free to ask questions of the facility where their loved one resides, and if not satisfied, contact their local ombudsman.

In an effort to more closely align with federal data collection efforts, effective October 21, 2020, MDHHS transitioned Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) reporting from daily to weekly on the Michigan.gov/Coronavirus website. In addition to the shift to weekly reporting, MDHHS will begin publishing additional data fields as well as expanding public reporting to include Adult Foster Care (AFC) and Home for the Aged (HFA) facilities with bed capacity of 13 or greater. These changes will be accompanied by increased validation efforts to ensure data accuracy. These updates will be available on our beginning November 2, 2020.
The onboarding process for licensed AFC and HFA facilities to current reporting requirements and survey platform is occurring in two discrete phases; Initial Registration and Weekly Reporting. The first release of the Initial Survey closed on October 28, 2020. The data below for AFC and HFA represents baseline data for those facilities who met the first registration deadline. New COVID-19 case and death information will be displayed beginning with the November 9 published report. The next opportunity for AFC and HFA facilities to complete the Initial Registration survey and come into compliance with reporting requirements is November 4, 2020. The November 4 Registration Survey survey will be open from 7AM – 12PM (noon).
