The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living, representing more than 14,000 nursing homes and assisted living communities that provide care to approximately 5 million people each year, released an updated report on Dec. 1 showing nursing homes in the U.S. have experienced the worst outbreak of weekly new cases since last spring because of the community spread among the general population, surpassing previous peaks since the Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services started tracking cases in nursing homes.
