50 rowsHow we calculated this
We rank every nursing home in the CMS Provider Information file by the total amount of fines in dollars that CMS lists for it (about the last three years) and show the 50 highest. Homes with the same total share a rank. The star rating is CMS's Overall Rating.
Fines and counts are from the CMS Provider Information file, which covers about the last three years of inspections and complaints. States run their own inspection programs and differ in how often and how strictly they cite homes, so a state with higher totals is not necessarily one with worse care.

Limits of the data
A large fine reflects what regulators found at one time and place; it does not describe every resident's experience. Fines can be reduced or settled. Open each home's page for its inspection reports, and ask the home about any problems cited.
Every figure is a count, sum or average of values in the official files above; none is estimated. Read the about page for how this site works and data freshness for when each source was last refreshed.
