ABSTRACT
The PA Nursing Homes layer was developed to show the geospatial locations of nursing homes in Pennsylvania. It can be used in various emergency and health related maps. A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital but can't be cared for at home. When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each nursing home. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99"). Latitude and longitude are recorded in the WGS 1984 coordinate system in decimal degrees.
