Nursing Home Compare has detailed information about every Medicare and Medicaid nursing home in the country. A nursing home is a place for people who can’t be cared for at home and need 24-hour nursing care. These are the official datasets used on the Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare Website provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These data allow you to compare the quality of care at every Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including over 15,000 nationwide.

The Nursing Home Affiliated Entity Performance Measures dataset provides select quality and performance measures from Care Compare for groups of nursing homes that share common individual or organizational owners, officers, or entities with operational/managerial control. The data include measures such as average health and staffing star ratings, staffing measures, average quality star ratings, select enforcement remedies, claims-based and Minimum Data Set (MDS) measures, average Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) metrics, and COVID-19 vaccination rates.

This data package contains information about Measures of Rehospitalization, Emergency Visit and Community Discharge for Medicare Beneficiaries. It also includes Nursing Home Compare information on Deficiencies, Fire Safety Deficiencies, MDS Quality Measures, Ownership information, Fines and Payment denial, Provider Information, State Averages and Survey Summary information about nursing homes.

The data that is used by the Nursing Home Compare tool can be downloaded for public use. This functionality is primarily used by health policy researchers and the media. Demographic data is refreshed monthly while quality measures are refreshed the first month of each quarter. In order to ease the downloading process, the data have been divided into 5 separate databases.

This dataset contains quality measures displayed on Nursing Home Compare, based on the resident assessments that make up the nursing home Minimum Data Set (MDS). Each row contains a specific measure for a nursing home and includes the four-quarter score average and scores for individual quarter.

Submitted data as of the week ending 01/05/2025. The Nursing Home COVID-19 Public File includes data reported by nursing homes to the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) COVID-19 Module. For resources and ways to explore and visualize the data, please see the links to the left, as well as the buttons at the top of the page. Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines On January 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) changed the way it collects data to calculate the percent of staff who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination. It may take facilities some time to adapt to the new methodology. As a result, the reported percent of staff who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination should be viewed with caution over the next few weeks. Contact facilities directly for more information on their vaccination levels.

This data set contains the 5-star ratings for nursing homes in Utah by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Ratings for Health inspections, Staffing and Quality measures are included. The 5-star quality rating system isn't a substitute for visiting the nursing home. This system can give you important information, help you compare nursing homes by topics you consider most important, and help you think of questions to ask when you visit the nursing home. Use the 5-star ratings together with other sources of information.

The Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Cost Report dataset is a public use file that provides select measures from the skilled nursing facility annual cost report. This data includes provider information such as facility characteristics, utilization data, cost and charges by cost center (in total and for Medicare), Medicare settlement data, and financial statement data organized by CMS Certification Number.

The CMS Program Statistics - Medicare Skilled Nursing Facility tables provide use and payment data for skilled nursing facilities. For additional information on enrollment, providers, and Medicare use and payment, visit the CMS Program Statistics page. These data do not exist in a machine-readable format, so the view data and API options are not available. Please use the download function to access the data. Below is the list of tables: MDCR SNF 1.

The Nursing Homes Profiles quality data provides a consumer-friendly product that allows patients and their families to understand how the New York State Nursing Homes perform within five specific domains of care and overall. The domains (Preventive Care, Quality of Care, Quality of Life, Resident Safety and Resident Status) encompass twenty-four different quality measures. A Domain Rating assesses performance over all the measures within that domain, with 5 stars indicating the highest performance and 1 star the lowest performance. The Overall Rating is a normalized star rating based on the Nursing Homes' performance across the five domains. The normalization of the Overall Rating resets the distribution, with the highest performing Nursing Homes across all the domains having 5 stars and the lowest performing Nursing Homes across the five domains having 1 star. New York’s Nursing Home Domain Rating differs from CMS’ 5-star rating in data reporting period and in methodology.

This dataset supports the New York State Department of Health Nursing Home Profile public website. The dataset includes facility demographic information, inspection results, and complaint summary and state enforcement fine data.

The Nursing Home COVID-19 Public File includes data reported by nursing homes to the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) COVID-19 Module: Surveillance Reporting Pathways and COVID-19 Vaccinations.

On September 15, 2023, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated its recommendation regarding what is required for individuals to be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccination rates now reflect the new definition of up to date. Initial findings should be interpreted with caution while providers are learning how to report COVID-19 vaccination status based on the new up to date definition. The data may initially show that few long-term care residents and staff have up to date vaccination status; these percentages will increase over time as residents and staff receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine.

A list of all health deficiencies currently listed on Nursing Home Compare including the most recent comprehensive inspection and the most recent 12 months of complaint inspections. Because of the new health inspection process, these deficiencies aren’t necessarily used to calculate the 5-star health inspection rating. For the specific data used to calculate that rating, see the Provider Info table.

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Frequency data summarizes health status indicators for active residents currently in nursing homes. The MDS is part of the Federally-mandated process for clinical assessment of all residents in Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes. This process provides a comprehensive assessment of each resident's functional capabilities and helps nursing home staff identify health problems. Care Area Assessments (CAAs) are part of this process, and provide the foundation upon which a resident's individual care plan is formulated. MDS assessments are completed for all residents in certified nursing homes, regardless of source of payment for the individual resident. MDS assessments are required for residents on admission to the nursing facility, periodically, and on discharge. All assessments are completed within specific guidelines and time frames. In most cases, participants in the assessment process are licensed health care professionals employed by the nursing home. MDS information is transmitted electronically by nursing homes to the national MDS database at CMS.

When reviewing the MDS 3.0 Frequency files, some common software programs e.g., ‘Microsoft Excel’ might inaccurately strip leading zeros from designated code values (i.e., "01" becomes "1") or misinterpret code ranges as dates (i.e., O0600 ranges such as 02-04 are misread as 04-Feb). As each piece of software is unique, if you encounter an issue when reading the CSV file of Frequency data, please open the file in a plain text editor such as ‘Notepad’ or ‘TextPad’ to review the underlying data, before reaching out to CMS for assistance.

As of 6/1/2023, this data set is no longer being updated. Connecticut nursing homes are required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to report on the impact of COVID-19 on their residents and staff through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This reporting is intended to reflect recent COVID-19 activity in nursing homes. Data presented here from NHSN reflect resident and staff COVID-19 cases and COVID-related deaths reported for Connecticut nursing homes for the previous week, Thursday–Wednesday. All nursing homes follow NHSN definitions and instructions when reporting to the NHSN COVID-19 module, ensuring data are reported in a systematic way. These data do not show where the resident or staff got infected. Detailed information about COVID-19 reporting for nursing homes and NHSN can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/ltc/covid19/index.html
