Nursing Home Violations and Complaints Available at Member of the Family Website

  At the Member of the Family website there are ratings, violations information, complaints and a Watch List for 16,000 nursing homes. 

The recent list published of the worst nursing homes in America has highlighted the importance of researching nursing homes.

Color codes make it easy for the average person to understand the ratings at Member of the Family.   For example, a red bar indicates "actual harm", yellow means "potential for more than minimal harm," and so on.

The states are listed, so to find out about local nursing homes in your area you can just click on your state.

The National Nursing Home Watch List at the site shows homes that have been cited for violations, and "substantiated complaints."

Nursing Home Quality Trends and Staffing is a page at the side with The Quality Indicators, which are color coded, as explained above.  This page has the nursing home ratings.  It's easy to find the information because, again, you just click on your state to see them.

By becoming knowledgeable of the ratings we can avoid bad nursing homes.  Researching them will enable us to avoid letting the bad nursing homes take advantage of our lack of information, or fool us.

Please join in to help get rid of bad nursing homes.
