Disclaimer

Government data, not our data

All facility ratings, inspection results, staffing figures, abuse citations, and ownership information displayed on NursingHomeUSA.com are sourced directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider Data Catalog. We reproduce this data as-is. We did not conduct the inspections, assign the ratings, or make any determinations about individual facilities.

If you believe a CMS data point is incorrect — for example, a citation that has been resolved or a rating that does not reflect current conditions — the appropriate avenue is to contact CMS directly or consult the official Medicare Care Compare tool.

Not medical advice

Nothing on this site should be interpreted as medical advice. CMS star ratings and inspection data are administrative and regulatory metrics — they are useful reference points but are not a substitute for a physician's assessment of appropriate care settings for a specific individual. Medical decisions, including nursing home placement, should be made in consultation with qualified healthcare professionals who know the patient's needs.

Not legal advice

Information about abuse citations, special focus facility designations, and enforcement actions is published for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. If you believe a resident has experienced abuse or neglect, contact your state's Long-Term Care Ombudsman or consult a qualified attorney.

Data currency

CMS updates its Provider Data Catalog on the first Wednesday of each month. Data displayed on this site reflects the most recent CMS release and may be up to 30 days behind the current CMS dataset. A facility's conditions, ownership, staffing, or citation status may have changed since the last update. Always verify current status directly with the facility and through official CMS sources before making any decisions.

No facility relationships

NursingHomeUSA has no financial relationship with any nursing home, referral service, or healthcare organization. We do not receive referral fees, placement commissions, or any other compensation tied to facility selection. Our ranking of facilities is based solely on CMS Five-Star ratings and cannot be influenced by payment.
