Website that reviews nursing homes

[Tricia-CNA]

Hi I'm a new cna and want to start at a nursing home. I dont want to start somewhere and find out that they are not providing quality care, or really understaffed. Is there a non-biased website that rates different nusing homes? Thanks!

Medicare.gov â€" the Official U.S. Government Site for Medicare

Click on "Resource Locator" and then "Nursing Homes"

Their results are based on yearly state surveys, though, so they are not always accurate. The particular facility may be able to "clean up their act" for a few weeks out of the year and do great on a state survey. Others, even though they really may be a great facility, sometimes get hit hard by surveys, giving others the impression that they are "bad."

I think they're pretty accurate. For the facilities around here, I can see why they get their low rating or if they get their high ratings. I've worked in a 2-star facility & a 5-star facility. I can say w/ confidence that they live up to their ratings 100%(well in the case of the 2-star facility I think they should have gotten NO stars @ all !).
