The purpose of the current study was to compare quality of life health outcomes during the year prior to and first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic among people who lived in a nursing home. This study used quarterly cross-sectional data from Minimum Data Sets between March 2019 and March 2021 among 96 people who resided in a nursing home. Health outcomes were cognitive function, transfer ability, depression, rejecting care, falls, urinary tract infections, physical conflict, and verbal conflict. Data were analyzed using Stuart-Maxwell test to compare differences in health outcomes in the year prior to and first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were statistically significant differences between the two time periods for the worsening of health outcomes related to transfer ability, rejecting care, physical conflict, and verbal conflict. Understanding the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on health outcomes among people who live in nursing homes is critical for improving individual health and health system preparedness.
