IQ Nursing Homes is now offering updated nursing home rating reports free of charge to site visitors who are looking to investigate nursing homes and elder care facilities. Over 15,000 nursing homes and elder care facilities are included in the IQ Nursing Homes database, along with over 462,000 reported deficiencies.
Although many nursing homes provide a high level of care to their residents, nursing home abuse and elder neglect are serious issues in facilities around the country. If you are looking for the right nursing home for yourself or a loved one, the national nursing home inspection reports on IQ Nursing Homes can help you choose a facility in your area that has a track record of quality care and treatment. There are 28 nursing home deficiency categories covering a wide range of issues such as: administration problems, hazardous areas, mistreatment of residents, quality care problems, and smoking regulations.
Start your search by selecting the type of deficiency you are interested in researching. Then, narrow your search by state, and finally, select a specific nursing home. The data in the nursing home inspection reports is obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS conducts nursing home inspections approximately once a year in order to determine whether facilities meet the minimum Medicare and Medicaid quality and performance standards.
Site visitors can also use the data in these inspection reports to investigate the facility where a loved one is currently residing. If you believe that nursing home abuse is taking place, it may be helpful to view the facility’s past record to find out if they have been cited for similar problems previously. Seniors are often reluctant or afraid to admit that they are experiencing abuse out of fear that the mistreatment will worsen. In other cases, elderly nursing home residents are unable to communicate the neglect they are suffering at the hands of staff members. It is important for family members and friends of nursing home residents remain watchful for quality care concerns and act as advocates for their loved ones.
