U.S. Nursing Homes Ratings Database
January 28, 2010 - USA Today
An analysis of nearly 16,000 nursing homes reveals for-profit homes are more likely to provide inferior
care than their non-profit rivals, according to a USA TODAY examination of the federal government's
first ratings of the homes' performance. The new Zagat-like rating system, released today by the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services, assigns homes one to five stars for quality, staffing and health
inspections, plus an overall score.
