Understanding Deficiencies

Deficiencies are violations of federal health and safety standards identified during CMS inspections. They are categorized by scope (isolated, pattern, or widespread) and severity (potential for harm vs. actual harm).

Critical deficiencies involve actual harm to residents and should be carefully considered. Facilities typically have opportunities to correct deficiencies and implement preventive measures.

What should I look for when choosing a nursing home?

When selecting a nursing home, consider: CMS star ratings (overall, health inspection, staffing, and quality measures), nurse staffing levels, staff turnover rates, recent health inspection results, complaint history, proximity to family, and available services. We recommend visiting facilities in person, talking to current residents and staff, and checking multiple sources of information before making your decision. Use our comprehensive tour checklist when visiting facilities.
