How this works
Source and method
CMS Provider Data Catalog, Nursing Home Health Citations, current three inspection cycles for every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home in South Dakota. Tags are matched to citations by CMS's standardized description. Tags with at least 50 national citations link to a detail page.
Counts describe survey findings, not a ranking of facilities. Facilities can dispute citations through CMS's IDR and IIDR processes.
