Psychotropic Medications guide · Open the PDFNursing home deficiencies by state and local area.
Choose statewide coverage or an area within 25 or 50 straight-line miles of a selected community. Your full report includes a concise analysis PDF and complete cited-tag data CSV. Compare commonly cited tags with matched state and national rates, and see serious findings and qualifying changes over time.
$9.99 per report, plus applicable tax. One-time purchase; no subscription. A report purchase does not subscribe you to app alerts.
- What stands out in your areaA summary of the patterns worth reviewing with your team, with links to relevant free guides.
- Most-cited tags and comparisonsThe top tags, plus state and national rates using the same inspection window.
- Actual harm & immediate jeopardy (G+)Separate G–I actual harm findings from J–L immediate jeopardy findings.
- What’s changingOnly meaningful observed changes with enough data to compare; unavailable comparisons are explained.
Review coverage free before purchase. Areas with insufficient data receive a free limited-data preview: a counts summary, with no account or payment required. Paid checkout is unavailable for those areas. Other small samples carry a notice.
New citation data editions monthly, after CMS release and review. Check back for the next edition. Newly published records may concern older inspections.
Reopen your purchased edition for free during its 12-month access period. It keeps the original data and selections; a new distinct report costs $9.99.
Reports describe area-level patterns, not an individual facility’s inspection history or status. For facility history and nearby activity, explore the Survey Alert app’s free 25-mile access. For a broader overview, see the free National Survey Preparedness Guide.
Published CMS standard health-inspection citations only; complaint-only citations are excluded. Reports do not predict citations, establish survey readiness, or ensure compliance.

Which tool should I start with?
Use the app to follow activity and nearby operator context. Use a free guide to review a policy with your team. Use a Custom Citation Report to understand published citation patterns for a selected area.
Do I need an account for the guides?
No. All five Policy Review Guides are free PDF downloads. The app and your purchased report library share a Survey Alert account.
Does a report include an app subscription?
No. Reports are one-time purchases, separate from app access. App geographic rules do not restrict the area you choose for a report. Guest purchasers can access their report through the checkout email and connect it to their account.
Will my purchased report update each month?
It retains the data and selections purchased. You can reopen and download it for free during its 12-month access period. A new report using a newer data edition is a separate $9.99 purchase.
