Online Research Tool
This Online Research Tool is a dashboard that highlights national statistics where registered users can take a deeper dive, and compare their facility to others nationally or in their state. This tool contains three years of inspection data for all Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services facilities.
Would you want to know the most common citations issued in your state before your inspection? Have you wondered about those nursing home star ratings and how your facility stacks up against like facilities? You can investigate this kind of data and more using the research tool!
Registration to use the tool is open and FREE!
