How it works
From CMS's inspection file to a short list for your shop
-
CMS publishes the file
State inspectors survey Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes against the Life Safety Code. CMS publishes each citation, by tag, once a month. The current file was released Oct 28, 2026.
-
We map and check it
We keep the generator (K918), sprinkler (K353) and fire alarm (K345) citations, map each home, and keep the ones within your radius (60 miles by default). Every fact is re-read from the raw file.
-
You get the list
A weekly email with up to 20 homes you haven't been sent yet, a web view and a CSV. Every row has the home's main phone, the citation as CMS words it, and a link to the record.
Read it right
A citation is a reason to call, not a verdict
A K918 citation means an inspector cited the home under the generator rule, "Have generator or other power source capable of supplying service within 10 seconds." The rule also covers the generator's tests and their written records. CMS's file shows the tag, not which part the inspector found. 94% of K918 citations in inspections from Oct 2025 to Sep 2026 (2,050 of 2,178) say "Deficient, Provider has date of correction", which means the home has reported a correction date.
58% of homes cited under K918 had been cited for it at an earlier inspection (1,264 of 2,165). That is why the pitch is the next monthly, annual or 36-month test, or a service contract, not the citation.
What every row gives you
- Home name, address, main phone, beds and chain, as CMS lists them
- The tag, CMS's wording, inspection date and severity with its meaning
- Status exactly as CMS lists it, with the correction date
- Earlier citations under the same tag
- A link to the CMS record, and a "Wrong record?" button

Questions buyers ask
What does a K918 citation tell you?
That an inspector cited the home under the generator rule, not which part was found. K918 covers the generator's start and its tests and written records, so the generator itself, a missed or unrecorded monthly load test, or no record of the 4-hour test can each lead to a citation. CMS's public file shows the tag only.
94% of K918 citations in inspections from Oct 2025 to Sep 2026 (2,050 of 2,178) say "Deficient, Provider has date of correction", which means the home has reported a correction date. We show the status exactly as CMS lists it.
Source: CMS Fire Safety Deficiencies (ifjz-ge4w), Oct 2026 file: 2,050 of 2,178 K918 rows, inspections Oct 2025 to Sep 2026; waiver, Fire Safety Evaluation Survey and "No revisit needed" rows left out.
Where does the data come from?
From CMS's public nursing-home files: Fire Safety Deficiencies, Provider Information, Inspection Dates and Ownership, plus the U.S. Census geocoder for map points. Every row links to its CMS record.
How fresh is it?
CMS publishes once a month. The current file was released Oct 28, 2026, covers inspections up to Sep 23, 2026, next file due Dec 2, 2026. Most inspections take 1–3 months to show up in CMS's file.

How accurate is it?
Every fact we show is re-read from the raw CMS file before it's shown. On Nov 6, 2026, a separate check, with code that shares nothing with our engine and its own copy of CMS's Oct 2026 files, re-derived 30 random findings: 30 of 30 matched. It also matched 486 of 486 findings in 3 test territories, with 0 false findings.
CMS's own data can be incomplete. A federal audit (OIG A-09-20-02007) found Care Compare did not accurately report fire-safety deficiencies for some homes. Each row has a "Wrong record?" button that reaches us directly.
Is my territory exclusive?
No. The records are public, so a competitor can get the same list. You pay for the finding, checking and mapping, every month.
What does it cost?
$249/month per territory. Founding firms: $149/month, locked for 12 months. Founding pricing is for the first 20 firms that subscribe. Every plan starts with 14 days free and no card.
