Step 3: At this point, you have the choice to search
for a nursing home by either:
• State
• County

Code

of the Nursing Home
Select how you want
to search. For purposes of this tutorial, I have clicked
on “State”.
Step 4: Depending on which criteria you chose, specify
your search criteria.
Then Click “Next Step”.
Step 5: On this screen, feel free to Click on any of
the tabs for more information about:

Click “Continue” to move to the next screen.

up all the nursing homes listed in your search criteria.
You can search up to 10 nursing homes by Clicking on
the Box next to each nursing home. Then click “Next Step” at
the bottom on the page.
Step 7: Again, there are tabs that you can select on
for more information about the Nursing Homes's:

For
an overview of the Nursing Home, Click on “View
all information about this Nursing Home”.
Step 8: You can chose to either view the nursing home's:

For this tutorial, Click on “Inspection Results”.
Step 9: View all deficiencies.
Step 10: You can
also view the Nursing Home's Staffing Ratios by clicking

I hope that you have
found this tutorial useful. Finding the state surveys
is only 1 method you should use during
your evaluation of Nursing Homes. If you would like to
