Nothing matches all of these.

Remove a filter to see more. Each one is a fact the source publishes, so a place can be left out because its record is silent, not only because of what it says.

Side by side

The same published facts for each, in the same order, in their sources’ words.

Every line is a fact its source published, in that source’s own words. On a line whose figures can be ordered, the one that leads is marked; that is not a rating, and no line is weighed against another. “Not published” means that state’s file has no such field, which is not the same as a zero.

The honest record on the places and things your family relies on.

Hearth Record is independent. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CMS, SAMHSA, HRSA, CPSC, NHTSA, FDA, USDA or any state agency. Each fact links to the agency’s own record.

Every record here is read from the public record and refreshed when its source publishes.

How to read a record

Four things every record does, shown on an example record made up for this guide.

An example nursing home

Made up for this guide: no real place is shown

From the homeNone yet. Replies and paid listings aren’t open, and when they open they will sit here, below the record.

1 of 4

Every fact names its source.

Who published it, when, and how often it changes sit beside each fact, with a link to the agency’s own file.

2 of 4

A number never stands alone.

Each figure comes with the baseline its source gives, such as the state average or the middle of its neighbours, and the date it describes.

3 of 4

What needs attention is marked.

One color marks what an agency flagged or found most serious. Nothing is colored to look safe: a public record can’t certify safety.

4 of 4

The public record comes first.

Anything a provider adds will sit below the record and say who wrote it. Paying never changes a finding, a rating or the order of results.
