Source: the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) nursing home data published on data.cms.gov and Medicare's Care Compare, updated on Lawbamba November 9, 2026. Citations come from state health inspections, standard and complaint-driven, over each facility's last three inspection cycles. A citation describes what inspectors found on the inspection date; facilities can dispute citations, and most are corrected afterwards. Star ratings, fines and the abuse icon are CMS's own.

Lawbamba is not affiliated with CMS or any nursing home, and this page is general information, not legal advice. Report a concern about a nursing home to your state survey agency or long-term care ombudsman.
