Featured Site
HCFA's Online Survey, Certification, and Reporting (OSCAR) Database.
The purpose of the information on this Web site is to provide an accessible list of nursing homes that participate in Medicare and Medicaid and to report the results of the most recent state survey in each center.
The survey data is collected by the State survey agencies who perform onsite evaluations at least once during a 15-month period to ensure the nursing home residents receive quality care and services in a safe and comfortable environment in accordance with rules established by HCFA. The State survey agencies are then responsible for entering survey information into the OSCAR database and providing updates as needed.
