Medicare.gov is pleased to provide information about Quality Measures, Inspection Results and Nursing Home Staffing for the nursing home you have selected.

Quality Measures information comes from resident assessment data that nursing homes routinely collect on all residents at specific intervals during their stay. The information collected pertains to the resident’s physical, clinical conditions and abilities.

Inspection Results information refers to the regulatory requirement that the nursing home failed to meet but does not reflect the entire inspection report.

Nursing Home Staffing information comes from reports that the nursing home reports to its state survey agency. It contains the nursing staff hours for a two-week period prior to the time of the state inspection. CMS receives this data and converts the reported information into the number of staff hours per resident per day.
