I've seen this number around for a long time, but since I never saw a source posted, I don't know if this is still true.
Edit: I found https://covidtracking.com/analysis-updates/ltc-deaths-pass-100k-dec-2 https://covidtracking.com/analysis-updates/ltc-deaths-pass-1... for December 2, which shows about 100,000 deaths from "long-term care facilities". Not all states report differences between staff and residents dying, but I think it's reasonable to estimate it's mostly residents. On that day they show a total of 265,000 deaths in the USA, so about 37% from LTC.
