Two ways we help
Finding a nursing home
Your parent can't live alone anymore. You need to find a facility that will give them the care and attention they deserve. But how do you compare nursing homes?
- Registered Nurse (RN) staffing: Hours of skilled medical care per resident
- Quality ratings: Official 1-5 star ratings based on health outcomes
- Inspection records: Problems found during government inspections
- State rankings: See how each facility compares to others nearby
Finding the fastest ER
When your kid breaks an arm or you need urgent care, every minute matters. Which emergency room will see you fastest—before you're sitting in the waiting room?
- Typical wait times: How long until you see a doctor or nurse
- Safety records: Readmissions, complications, patient satisfaction
- State rankings: Compare hospitals by speed and quality
- Nearby alternatives: See faster ERs in your area
How it works
We turn complex federal datasets into clear, actionable information
Official data only
We collect data from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) — the official source for hospital and nursing home quality metrics. Updated monthly.
Fair comparisons
We compare each facility only to others in the same state. This keeps comparisons fair — a nursing home in rural Montana faces different challenges than one in downtown Los Angeles.
Plain English rankings
No complex scoring systems. We show you simple rankings: "#23 of 67 nursing homes in Nebraska for RN care." You see exactly where each facility stands.
