You can download the data that is used by Nursing Home Compare to your computer. The data will be downloaded as zipped Microsoft Access databases.
This function is primarily used by health policy researchers and the media. For information about nursing homes in a particular geographical area, you should use the Nursing Home Compare tool instead of downloading the data.
The data have been divided into 5 separate databases:
- About the Nursing Home
- About the Nursing Home Inspection Results
- About the Nursing Home Residents
- About the Nursing Home Staff
- About the Nursing Home Ratings
