Choosing a long term care facility is an important decision. The Department of Public Health has developed the Nursing Home Survey Performance Tool, which provides information about individual nursing homes in Massachusetts to serve as a transparent resource for consumers who are making decisions about their health care.
- The Nursing Home Survey Performance Tool compiles information about Massachusetts nursing homes from recertification and complaint surveys
- Nursing Home Compare is a federal resource of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) that contains detailed information about nursing homes nationwide
Only those facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid are included on the Survey Performance Tool and Nursing Home Compare.
