Source, freshness, and limitations

Official facts come from CMS nursing-home Provider Data published from state survey inspections. POCDesk organizes those records into comparisons and summaries; it does not replace CMS Care Compare or an in-person assessment. Survey timing differs by facility, missing linked history remains unknown, and citation counts alone do not measure staffing, outcomes, or current conditions.
