Introduction
ABOUT THE DATA
Enclosed is the 2022 Rhode Island Nursing Home Cost Per Day Analysis (Analysis) prepared by Citrin Cooperman Advisors LLC (Citrin Cooperman). The data used to prepare this Analysis was obtained from copies of Form BM-64 cost reports submitted to the State of Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (cost reports). We did not audit, compile, or review the cost reports or other data, and do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on them.
This Analysis provides insights into what is happening in the environment and may be of assistance to you in managing your nursing home. As always, historical information provides a glimpse of the past, but we all must deal with the complications and challenges of the present and future.
