Reading penalty records
A high fine total flags a history worth understanding, not an automatic disqualifier.
- Open a home to see whether its fines stem from one severe event or a long pattern of citations. See a facility record
- Weigh penalties against the current star rating, some heavily-fined homes have since improved. Best-rated homes
- See which states post the strongest overall records before you narrow your search. States by rating
Civil money penalties are cumulative and updated quarterly; an older fine may already be resolved. Verify a home's current standing with CMS and your state survey agency before deciding.
