CMS-imposed fines on nursing facilities
No financial penalties have been imposed in the past year.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) imposes financial penalties on nursing homes that fail to meet federal health and safety standards. These civil money penalties are intended to encourage compliance and improve the quality of care for residents.
Penalties may be imposed per day or per instance of non-compliance, and amounts vary based on the severity and scope of violations. Facilities have the right to appeal penalties through the administrative appeals process.
