U.S. Nursing Home Ratings & Info

U.S. Nursing Home Ratings & Downloadable Data

LTCCC compiles federal nursing home data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and organizes it into structured, user-friendly Excel files.

These reports are designed to make complex facility-level data easier to review, sort, and analyze. They can be used by families, advocates, attorneys, researchers, journalists, and policymakers seeking reliable information about nursing home performance and oversight.

What the Files Allow You to Do

Each Excel report enables users to:

• Filter by state, county, or city
• Sort facilities from highest to lowest (or vice versa) on key measures
• Compare homes based on:
  • Staffing levels and staffing sufficiency measures
  • Health inspection citations
  • Civil monetary penalties and other enforcement actions
  • Overall Five-Star ratings
  • Ownership type (for-profit, nonprofit, government)
  • Additional quality and compliance indicators

The data are formatted to support both quick review and more detailed analysis.

What’s Included

• National Provider File — Facility-level ratings, staffing data, inspection results, quality measures, ownership information, and enforcement data for all Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the United States.
• Problem Facilities File — Facilities identified by CMS as Special Focus Facilities or candidates, one-star homes, or facilities cited for abuse. Special Focus Facilities (SFFs) and SFF Candidates are nursing homes determined by CMS to have a history of serious quality issues or are included in a special program to stimulate improvements in their quality of care.

CMS’s Provider Database includes approximately three years of survey and enforcement data. This allows users to review and compare recent oversight histories at the national, state, regional, county, city, or individual facility level.
