Nursing Homes: 10 Worst States on Key Quality Measures

Posted December 19, 2008

Companion Site Produces an error

When I try research a specific State, County, or city for a list of nursing homes, I receive an error. The companion site is inoperable. Please resolve this problem.

User Friendly?

Compare the previous, it's the same information as it was.

It's just more consumer friendly like those "____ for the dummies"

Comparison site not working well

I wanted to see how they determined the ratings, what criteria they used. However, the Nursing Home Compare link above gives a 404 error when I look at all nursing homes in WA state. Makes we wonder how well the site got tested before being launched. Too bad - this is yet another barrier towards getting accurate and meaningful info on nursing homes.

Nursing Home evaluations

The three pronged evaluation formula used to derive a 1 to 5 ranking is indeed simple. Simply stupid and biased.
