州调查机构（通常是州卫生部门）负有主要责任，确保疗养院住户全年（每天 24 小时）的安全和尊严。然而，州立机构常常无法有效监控设施或回应有关护理的投诉。如果您所在州对有关住户护理的投诉（包括确保良好生活质量和有尊严的治疗的服务）反应不够充分，您可以通过以下电子邮件地址之一直接向联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心的地区办公室提出投诉。
我们强烈建议个人尽可能准确地记录其顾虑的性质；它造成临床、身体或心理社会伤害的程度（如果有）；以及之前在何时、向谁提出过投诉。请访问学习中心，获取有用的表格、有关护理标准的情况说明书以及其他资源。有关州/联邦监督的更多信息，请参阅：CMS，“各州有义务根据 1864 年协议全面调查医疗保险和医疗补助健康与安全要求”，QSO-22-12-ALL（2022 年 2 月 9 日），https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-22-12-all.pdf。

The LTC Journal covers important long-term care issues by highlighting policy updates, news reports, and academic research. Topics in this edition include:
The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a range of resources for nursing home surveyors (inspectors) to assist in the evaluation of whether a nursing home’s care and services comport with federal minimum standards. These resources are also useful to nursing homes, residents, and others concerned about the quality of nursing home […]
F-tags (“F” for “federal”) constitute the system through which federal nursing home regulations are identified in the survey process. Generally, each regulatory provision is assigned a corresponding F-tag number and surveyors use these numbers to indicate on the Statement of Deficiencies when a facility has failed to meet (or exceed) a given standard. Below is […]
June 30, 2022 – Surveys (inspections) are the principal mechanism by which the government assesses nursing home quality and determines compliance with standards of care. Unfortunately, as previous LTCCC studies have shown, State Survey Agencies (SAs) – which are charged with monitoring care, responding to complaints, and ensuring compliance with minimum standards – too […]

However, too often, the state agencies fail to effectively monitor facilities or respond to complaints about care. If your state is not sufficiently responsive […]

NY ranks last in citation rates despite widespread substandard care and neglect.
Fundamentally, a state’s oversight of nursing home care boils down to two components: (1) its ability to identify and cite a facility when a failure to meet standards (i.e., a deficiency) exists and (2) its ability to appropriately rate the deficiencies […]
