We are here to help.

The federal government collects detailed data on every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in the country — staffing levels, inspection history, citations, fines, quality measures, and more. That data is public. But it lives inside a government portal that is difficult to navigate, hard to compare across facilities, and full of jargon that requires a healthcare background to interpret.

WhoCaresHere takes that same federal data and presents it in plain language, organized around the questions families actually ask: Is this place safe? Is it staffed well? Has it been fined? What do the inspections say?

What we check

Every facility report draws from CMS Care Compare — the federal database maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We surface star ratings, staffing hours per resident, nurse turnover, inspection deficiencies, fines, payment denials, quality measures, substantiated complaints, and more — then rate each dimension good, fair, or poor based on published national averages and thresholds.

What we are not

WhoCaresHere is not a substitute for visiting a facility in person, talking to current residents and families, or consulting a healthcare professional. Data has a publication lag. Conditions change. A facility with a poor rating may have improved since the last inspection; one with a good rating may have declined. Use this as a starting point, not a final answer.

We only cover Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facilities. Assisted living, memory care, independent living, and private-pay-only facilities are not in the federal dataset and will not appear in results.

Free, and staying that way
