As we ourselves or family members age, there is a time where we sometimes have to make a tough decision regarding where we/they will live out the remainder of life. The government has put together a program which will compare these facilities and allow us to get a more in depth look at Nursing Homes, Senior Care Centers and Assisted Living facilities that accept Medicare in your area. Here you will be able to-
- Get information on skilled Nursing facility quality reporting program measures.
- View facilities swing bed performance and quality of resident care for unplanned hospitalizations among long stay residents.
- View health inspections and the changes to the heath inspection process.
- View a guide to choose a nursing home as well as get a nursing home checklist.
- Learn how and when to file a complaint.
- View Staff Payroll information.
- Learn if a facility is or is at risk of being terminated from Medicare.
and more.
