FAQs
Is this free to use? Yes. The CMS data.cms.gov API is completely free and public with no registration required.
How many nursing homes are covered? CMS covers approximately 15,000+ certified nursing homes across all US states and territories.
What is a Special Focus Facility? CMS designates facilities with persistent serious quality problems as Special Focus Facilities (SFF). These receive more frequent inspections. This actor can filter to only return SFF-designated facilities.
What does the star rating mean? CMS assigns 1–5 overall ratings combining health inspection results, staffing levels, and quality measures. 5 stars = much above average.
Does it require login or cookies? No. All data comes from the public CMS Provider Data Catalog.
