What you'll get

12 evidence-based red flags every family should check before choosing a facility

Most families have 3–7 days to make a nursing home decision. This checklist focuses on data the facility cannot control — federal inspection records, payroll-based staffing data, and government fines. Organized across three sections: before you visit, during the tour, and questions to ask before you sign.

  • Is the facility on the CMS Special Focus Facility list?
  • Any Immediate Jeopardy citations in the last 3 years?
  • Has the facility received Civil Monetary Penalties in the past 2 years?

+ 9 other important topics — enter your name and email to get the full checklist.
