Showing top 20 facilities by total deficiency citations. Source: CMS Provider Data Catalog (r5ix-sfxw). Processing date: 2026-04-01. Harm citations = scope/severity codes G–L per CMS definition. Cite as: Fonteum analysis of CMS NH Health Deficiency data.
A deficiency citation is issued by CMS surveyors when a nursing home fails to meet federal standards during an inspection. Citations are categorized by scope (how widespread the problem is) and severity (how much harm was caused). Codes G through L indicate the deficiency caused actual harm to residents.
This tool ranks facilities by total deficiency citation count using CMS NH Health Deficiencies data (dataset r5ix-sfxw). The national dataset covers 418,148 citations across 14,635 certified nursing facilities. Use the state filter to compare facilities within a specific state.
The harm flag indicates that a deficiency citation was assigned scope/severity code G, H, I, J, K, or L by CMS surveyors. These codes mean the deficiency caused actual harm to one or more residents — as opposed to codes A through F, which represent lower-severity findings. Nationally, 5.6% of all citations carry a harm-level code.
Fonteum's deficiency dataset reflects CMS's April 2026 monthly full-replacement file (processing date 2026-04-01), sourced from the CMS Provider Data Catalog (dataset identifier r5ix-sfxw). CMS publishes updated files monthly. Each row in Fonteum's database is attributed to its source, processing date, and Fonteum ingest date.
Limitations: This tool reflects deficiency data as published by CMS and does not include citations under IDR (Informal Dispute Resolution) that CMS excludes from Five-Star calculations. Correction status and dates are as reported by the facility to CMS. This tool is for research and informational purposes only; it is not a substitute for direct CMS inspection reports or legal advice.
