Abstract

There is widespread concern about the quality of care in nursing homes. On the basis of administrative data of a large health insurance fund, we investigate whether nursing home prices are associated with relevant quality of care indicators at the resident level. Our results indicate negative associations between price and both inappropriate and psychotropic medication. In contrast, we do not find any relationship between the price and impairments of physical health.
