  1. This stacked bar chart illustrates the percentage of nursing homes that accepted a standardized patient referral under three conditions: baseline (no incarceration history), history of incarceration, and history of incarceration for a serious crime. Each bar represents the proportion of responses categorized into four acceptance statuses: Immediate Acceptance (dark green), Acceptance Within 1 Month (light green), Acceptance After > 1 Month Wait (pink), and Rejection (dark red). The figure demonstrates a clear gradient of decreasing nursing home acceptance and increasing rejection rates with greater disclosure of justice involvement.
  2. Serious Crimes = Violent offenses, sexual offenses, drug-related offenses, breaking and entering
