Nursing homes (NHs) are considered hotspots for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), given their residential environments and patient vulnerabilities. This study describes the COVID-19 preparedness of NHs across the US. Its results indicate the need for NHs to continue refining their preparedness strategies in response to local virus prevalence, resident population, and local regulations, including state policies on accepting COVID‐19 patients discharged from hospitals.
