About Find That Nursing Home

I’m a CNA — a certified nursing assistant. I work the floor of a nursing home: the call lights, the transfers, the 2am rounds. When someone’s mother needs a nursing home, the family usually gets a list of names, a few days to decide, and no way to tell the places apart.

The government actually publishes remarkable data about every Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country — inspection results, payroll-verified staffing hours, fines, ownership records. But it’s scattered across datasets and written like a tax form. Medicare’s own site is hard to use on a phone in a hospital hallway, which is where this decision usually happens.

So this site does one thing: every fact, straight from the official CMS data, in plain English, with an explanation of what each number means on a real floor — which numbers to trust, which are graded on a curve, and what to ask when you visit.

What you won’t find here:opinions about specific facilities. The data speaks; we translate the language, not the judgment. You also won’t find ads, affiliate links, lead-generation forms, or “sponsored” placements — the sites that rank facilities while taking referral fees from them have a conflict of interest this site exists to avoid.
