Description: The primary purpose of this tool is to provide detailed information about the past performance of every Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing home in the country. Nursing Home Compare includes information only on nursing homes that are Medicare or Medicaid certified. 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. Note: On this site's nursing home report, the date of last inspection generally refers to the last life/safety inspection date. The phone number for the State survey agency in your area can be found in the Helpful Contacts section of this website.
