Methodology & disclaimer

Not medical advice. Home Health Findings is an independent site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a product of CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) or any government agency. Always verify a finding with the linked CMS source report and ask the agency about its plan of correction.

Severity labels

Plain-English summaries

Each summary is the inspector's own sentence stating what the agency failed to do, copied from the Form 2567 text with only introductory phrases (such as "Based on record review and interview,") removed. No facts are added or changed. If no such sentence can be extracted, the rule's title is shown instead. The full inspector text is available under every summary ("Show inspector's text").

Agencies no longer in CMS's list

Agencies that have inspection records but are not in CMS's current list are shown with a "no longer in CMS list" label, because past findings can matter when an operator reopens under a new name. Their address comes from the last inspection report.

Limits

Plans of correction are not in CMS's public extract. Agencies accredited by private organizations may be inspected by those bodies, whose reports are not public, so "no findings" does not mean "no problems." Records are matched by CMS Certification Number. Errors: report them and we will correct them.
