Nursing Home Violations is an independent public-records research project. Its purpose is to make it easier for families to find and understand the federal inspection history of any nursing home in the United States.
The site is built entirely on federal public-records data that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releases on a quarterly cadence. We reorganize those records by facility, city, state, and deficiency tag so that a worried family member, a journalist, or a researcher can find what they need in seconds rather than hours.
What you can do here
- Look up any Medicare-certified nursing home by name, city, or CMS Certification Number (CCN)
- See the federal citation record for any facility, including severity level, scope, and survey date
- Read the federal regulation behind any deficiency tag and see which facilities have been cited under it most often
- Review the federal enforcement history — civil money penalties and payment denials — for any facility or state
- Browse by state and city to compare facilities in a geography
What this is not
- Not a government site. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other federal or state agency.
- Not a law firm. Nothing on this site is legal advice. A citation is a finding by a state survey team working under federal contract; it is not a court judgment or an admission of wrongdoing by a facility.
- Not a medical resource. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a recommendation for or against any facility as a place of care.
- Not a review site. We do not publish user reviews, ratings, or subjective evaluations. Every figure on every facility page is drawn from the federal public record.
Updates and corrections
If you believe a specific record on this site is inaccurate relative to the federal public record, please write to corrections@nursinghomeviolations.com and we will reconcile the page at the next publication. Where an underlying federal record is itself being contested through the Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR) or Independent IDR (IIDR) process, this site reflects the current public status of that record.
Legal consultations
Many pages on this site include a form to request a free consultation with a plaintiff attorney who handles nursing-home abuse and neglect cases. Those forms are an attorney-advertising service; the attorneys who receive your inquiry pay to participate. See the attorney advertising disclosure for full details.
