CMS Memorandum – Posting Nursing Home Inspections Online

To: Skilled Nursing Facilities On June 4, 2020 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a memorandum about posting skilled nursing facility inspection online. Inspections conducted on or after March 4, 2020, including complaints, facility-reported incidents (FRIs) and infection control checks, will be available through a link on the Nursing Home Compare homepage. The webpage will include a spreadsheet listing each health inspection conducted, the facility’s demographic information, and findings (i.e. citations) from the inspection. This information will be updated on a monthly basis and will not be used to calculate a nursing home’s health inspection star rating.
