About our data
Data sources
Our information comes from government databases, primarily the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). We update data regularly but can't guarantee it's always current.
Accuracy limitations
While we strive for accuracy, we can't guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free. Facilities may change services, contact information, or quality measures between updates.
Quality measures
Quality ratings are based on historical data and may not reflect current performance. They're one factor to consider, not the only measure of quality care.
