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.
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 ratings apply to CMS-certified nursing homes only and are relative within each state. They are not a guarantee of any individual resident’s experience.
CMS reports the legal business name as not available.
