State license

State licensure is issued by the state survey agency. State license records are not yet ingested for this facility; the federal CMS certification is shown instead. State coverage for Arizona.

Federal certification and the state license are different records. A nursing home is licensed by the state and, separately, certified by CMS to bill Medicare and/or Medicaid. We link them by the CCN when the state publishes it; otherwise by exact address, house number and street, or exact name within the same ZIP, and label that link as inferred. Never by name alone.

CMS publishes about the three most recent standard surveys plus complaint and infection-control inspections from the prior three years. Older findings leave the dataset; their absence is not evidence they never happened.
