How to read these results
- Citation
- CMS calls it a deficiency. Inspectors found the home did not meet a federal rule. Each citation gets a letter from A to L for how serious it was and how many residents it affected or could affect.
- How serious (severity)
- A to C: no harm, with potential for minimal harm. D to F: no harm, with potential for more than minimal harm. G to I: harm to a resident. J to L: immediate jeopardy, meaning the problem caused, or was likely to cause, serious injury, harm, or death.
- How many residents (scope)
- Isolated: one or a few residents. Pattern: more than a few. Widespread: many residents, or the whole home.
- Standard and complaint inspections
- A standard inspection is the routine visit that checks the whole home. A complaint inspection looks into a specific complaint, so its citations can be about one event.
- Inspection cycle
- Citations are counted by inspection cycle: a standard inspection plus the complaint inspections from around the same period, which can be on other dates. The counts and averages here cover the whole cycle.
- Fines and payment denials
- Medicare can fine a home that does not meet the rules, or stop paying for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions for a time (a payment denial).
- High performing (CMS)
- Medicare gives this icon to nursing homes with fewer inspection citations, higher staffing, and other strong results on the measures it tracks.
- Abuse icon
- The abuse icon is shown for nursing homes cited for abuse that harmed a resident in the past year, or cited for abuse that could have caused harm in each of the past 2 years.
- Special Focus Facility
- CMS’s Special Focus Facility program includes a small number of nursing homes with a history of serious quality problems. These homes are inspected more often.
