IQ Nursing Homes now offers a national nursing home directory for those who are seeking an elder care facility for themselves or an elderly loved one. Nursing homes can be great places for aging parents and loved ones who require constant supervised care. In these environments, seniors are surrounded by trained nurses and doctors who are qualified to care for them and enhance their quality of life every day.
The IQ Nursing Homes National Nursing Home Directory includes over 15,000 nursing homes and elder care facilities throughout the United States. Visitors can select their state, and then narrow the search results by choosing a county, category (Medicare or Medicaid participation), ownership type, and whether the facility is located within a hospital. Those who want to search for information on a particular nursing home can simply type in the name of that facility. Each nursing home directory listing includes the address and phone number of the facility, the number of beds in the facility, total number of residents, sprinkler status, and type of counseling available.
Each directory listing also includes deficiencies that have been reported for that facility in any one of the 28 deficiency categories, including mistreatment, resident rights, quality care, and building construction. The data in these reports is obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS conducts nursing home inspections in order to determine whether facilities meet the minimum Medicare and Medicaid quality and performance standards. Careful research is imperative to ensure that the nursing home to which you entrust your loved one’s care is reputable and safe.

IQ Nursing Homes offers a free nursing home abuse claim form, which will be reviewed by a qualified nursing home attorney within 36 hours.
