What nine years of federal payroll and staffing records say about the cost of caring for one resident for one day
Every certified nursing facility in the country, every month since 2017, joined to the payroll filings those buildings make and the Medicare payment decisions that follow. 1.3 million facility-months, and the state table published whole.

Reporters and researchers: we will pull the data behind any figure, the full method, or a cut we have not published, usually the same day.
