How these numbers are made
All values come from the Medicare (CMS) Provider Data Catalog files Health Deficiencies, Penalties, Provider Information and State US Averages (data updated October 1, 2026; penalties file updated October 1, 2026). A citation (deficiency) is counted once per tag and inspection. “Last three inspection cycles” are the cycles Medicare publishes; they cover about three years. Fines are the sum of the fine amounts in the Penalties file. Nothing is rated or ranked by us: the order is only the stated sort. A citation shows what inspectors found on the dates given; read each home’s page and the inspection reports on Medicare Care Compare before you decide.
