Nursing Home Check

Screen nursing homes with public CMS ratings, staffing, fines, inspections, and risk flags before you call, visit, or make a care decision.

Choosing a nursing home is hard. Nursing Home Check helps you screen U.S. nursing homes with public CMS data before you call, visit, compare options, or make a care decision.

Use one focused app to review CMS ratings, staffing, fines, inspections, risk flags, and facility details without digging through spreadsheets or government pages.

What you can check: • Overall, health inspection, staffing, quality, long-stay, and short-stay ratings • Staffing hours per resident day, RN hours, weekend staffing, and turnover • Fines, payment denials, total penalties, deficiencies, and infection citations • Risk signals such as abuse flag, Special Focus status, old inspections, low ratings, new ownership, and fines • Facility profile details including beds, ownership, residents, family council, sprinklers, chain name, and first approval date • Address, phone, location, CMS ID, latest inspection date, and latest CMS data date

Search and narrow results: • Search by facility name, city, ZIP, county, or CMS ID • Filter by state • Sort by needs review, best rated, staffing, or fines • Browse a national list when you want a broader view

Save facilities to your Shortlist so you can return to them later, compare selected nursing homes side by side, and focus on the options that deserve follow-up.

Use follow-up tasks and notes to prepare for calls, tours, and family discussions. You can track questions about weekend staffing, recent inspection issues, fines or penalties, care planning, family council, availability, and pricing.

Nursing Home Check uses public CMS Provider Data Catalog records. Data is cached on your device for faster launches, and your Shortlist, follow-up status, checklist, and notes stay local on your device.

Nursing Home Check is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CMS, Medicare, Medicaid, or any government agency. CMS data should be used as a screening tool, not as a guarantee of safety, care quality, or suitability for any person.
