16.2% of facilities nationwide are already past CMS's 15-month survey window.

Do you know if yours is one of them — and if not, what's keeping it off the list?
CMSCG's RBS Readiness Assessment tells you exactly where you stand and what to do about it.

Dementia affects each person in a different way.
Learn the common signs and symptoms of dementia:
- Forgetting recent events or names
- Misplacing things
- Getting lost while walking or driving
- Feeling confused, even in familiar places
- Losing track of time
- Trouble solving problems or making decisions
- Struggling to follow conversations or find words
- Difficulty with everyday tasks
- Misjudging distances to objects
Common mood and behaviour changes include:
- Feeling anxious, sad, or angry about memory loss
- Personality changes
- Inappropriate behaviour
- Withdrawing from work or social life
- Less interest in others’ feelings
CMS just confirmed: risk-based surveys go nationwide Sept. 8, 2026.
Only 12% of #nursinghomes currently qualify. The biggest gate isn't staffing — it's your Health Inspection Score, and that's built on survey history you can't fix overnight.
