(This online resource provides extensive information on over 15,000 nursing homes across the United States that helps assess the quality of the facilities and the care residents receive within them. The website’s data is taken from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid ("CMS"), which provides monthly updates, and goes back more than 8 years. There is detailed information on each skilled nursing facility, including who owns and manages it, its record of penalties and deficiencies, and its history of ratings including health inspections, nursing hour analysis (how much time nurses and CNAs have, and overall conditions.)
