# Nursing Home Ledger

Public CMS nursing-home facility, inspection, citation, penalty, staffing, chain, and ownership records.

## Interpretation
- CMS ratings are CMS fields, not our scores.
- Citation counts depend on inspection timing and scope.
- Correction dates are reported fields, not independent verification.
- Owner pages are exact-name searches, not fuzzy corporate-family matches.
- The site does not recommend a facility or replace a current Care Compare check, ombudsman contact, state survey agency, or visit.
