Examines behavioural differences between for-profit (FP) and not-for-profit (NFP) nursing homes. Previous studies have failed to establish consistent behavioural differences. Provides evidence that NFPs provide significantly higher quality of care to Medicaid beneficiaries and to self-pay residents than do FPs, as evidenced by better staffing and better outcomes among nursing homes with residents at higher risk for adverse outcomes.
