How far is the nearest nursing home?

Nursing homes from Medicare's Care Compare provider file (every Medicare- or Medicaid-certified home, with its overall, health-inspection and staffing star ratings), geocoded with the Census Bureau's address geocoder; the 67 addresses it could not place sit at their ZIP's center and are marked approximate. Distance is straight-line miles from the ZIP's population-weighted center. Only Ohio homes count: homes across the state line are not counted, and Ohio Medicaid pays an out-of-state home only in limited cases.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 3.4 mi.
