IMPORTANT: Limitations/Disclaimer
It is important to note that even the best data will be subject to
flaws. Data received is self-reported and many nursing homes are still
learning how to code and report their data correctly. Users of this information
need to know that it is just one piece to examine when making informed
health care decisions.
Choosing Quality Health Care
Quality measure information is one indicator of care to consider when
choosing a nursing home for yourself or a loved one. Use information
from other consumer resources as well. A variety of information can
also help you define quality for yourself according to what is most
important to you.
When visiting a nursing home, take a “guide” or checklist, it
will prompt you to ask pertinent questions that will help you choose quality
health care. You can make quality health care choices by becoming an informed
consumer.
We have provided some website links with information to help consumers choose quality nursing home care:

Certification and Resident Assessments. They perform periodic on-site inspections

federal and state health, treatment and safety standards. They also investigate
complaints from the public about poor care or unsafe conditions in certified
facilities or providers. From this site you can access a list of nursing
homes and individual facility information, including reports from the Bureau’s
on-site inspections.
