Important Information on Nursing Home Compare
Nursing Home Compare includes information only on nursing homes that are Medicare or Medicaid certified. These nursing homes provide skilled nursing care, however, there are many other types of facilities that provide various levels of health care and assistance with activities of daily living. Many of these facilities are licensed only at the state level. In addition, some nursing homes that provide a full range of care, including skilled nursing services, choose not to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. For information about any facility not found in this database, please contact your State survey agency. The phone number for the State survey agency in your area can be found in the Helpful Contacts section of this website.
Information on this website should not be construed as an endorsement or advertisement for any nursing home.
The Complete Nursing Home Inspection
The data on this website refers to the regulatory requirement that the nursing home failed to meet but does not reflect the entire inspection report (which, in some cases, may be well over 100 pages in length). The detailed inspection report (the form HCFA-2567) contains the specific findings that support the State's determination that the requirement was not met. A complete inspection report and the nursing home's corresponding plan of correction to address the deficiencies found during the inspection are available from the State survey agency or from the nursing home itself.
In addition, each nursing home that provides Medicare or Medicaid services is required to make the results of its last full inspection available onsite for public review. The phone number for the State survey agency in your area can be found in the Helpful Contacts section of this website.
The Results of the Nursing Home Inspection Report
CMS makes every attempt to ensure consistency among how the States report their findings. It is also important, while reading these results, to consider that the quality of a nursing home may improve or deteriorate significantly in a short period of time. These changes can occur when a nursing home's administrator or ownership changes or when a nursing home's financial health suddenly changes. We suggest contacting your ombudsman's office or your State survey agency for the most current information about a nursing home. The phone number for the State Survey Agency, or Ombudsman's office in your area can be found in the Helpful Contacts section of this website.
Finally, findings of inspections do not present a complete picture of the quality of care provided by the nursing home. The inspection measures whether the nursing home meets the minimum standard for a particular set of requirements. If a nursing home has no deficiencies, it means that it met the minimum standards at the time of the inspection. However, this information cannot be used to identify nursing homes that provide outstanding care.
