In response to a Freedom of Information Act request by ProPublica, the government has released unredacted write-ups of problems found during nursing home inspections around the country. We’re making them available today for anyone who wants to download the complete versions.
For several months now, ProPublica has made redacted versions of this same information available in an easily searchable format in our Nursing Home Inspect [1] tool. These versions, which reside on the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website, Nursing Home Compare [2], sometimes blank out patients’ ages, medical conditions, dates and prescribed medications.
