CRITICAL NEW INFORMATION ADDED TO NURSING HOME COMPARE WEB SITE
MULTI-YEAR PLAN FOR IMPROVED NURSING HOME QUALITY ALSO RELEASED
Medicaid beneficiaries and families searching for top quality long-term care services can find critical new information added today to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Web site “Nursing Home Compare.”
For the first time, information about nursing homes on the Compare Web site will list whether a home is or has been on CMS’ special focus facility (SFF) list. The agency’s SFF initiative gives heightened scrutiny to nursing homes that have a history of poor performance or repeated violations of state and federal health and safety rules.
