Here are NC nursing homes and care centers with confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths

North Carolina has five nursing homes with at least 100 COVID-19 cases at their facilities, according to data released Tuesday by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

Those congregate living facilities are in Cabarrus, Chatham, Durham, Orange and Rowan counties.

There are 60 outbreaks at nursing homes and 23 outbreaks at residential care facilities, according to NCDHHS. An outbreak is considered two or more cases.

The department releases specific data on nursing homes twice a week — Tuesday and Friday.

Altogether, there are at least 1,895 cases and 211 deaths at nursing homes, DHHS says. There are 379 cases and 39 deaths at residential care facilities.

That’s almost 47% of the state’s deaths.

Louisburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Franklin County has fewer cases, having started with 61 patients patients. It has the highest death toll among nursing homes in the state with 18 deaths.

However the state notes that location data is missing for more than 3,000 laboratory-confirmed cases and 39 deaths.

In almost all cases across the state, the deaths have been among residents.

Tuesday, NCDHHS reported that 51.1% of the state’s adults are at higher risk for “severe illness from COVID-19,” because they are at least 65 years old or have an underlying health condition — or both.

Those health conditions can include “chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, severe obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and immunosuppressive conditions, including cancer treatment, smoking and other immune disorders,” according to a news release.

Of the COVID-19 deaths, 75 percent of the people who died had at least one underlying health condition, NCDHHS said Tuesday.

Here is a searchable database of confirmed cases, by location, of coronavirus and related deaths at nursing homes, residential care centers and other congregate living facilities. All COVID-19 cases are lab-confirmed.
