Counts depend on how many homes a state has and how often its inspectors visit, so a larger number is not by itself a worse record.

Common questions

What is F572 in a nursing home inspection?
F572 is the federal requirement to "give residents a notice of rights, rules, services and charges". CMS files it under resident rights. A home cited under F572 did not meet that requirement at the inspection.
How often is F572 cited?
The CMS files as of September 1, 2026 list 180 F572 citations at 178 nursing homes, 42 of them in the 12 months to that date. 0.0% were rated as actual harm or immediate jeopardy.
Is a F572 citation serious?
It depends on the letter. Most F572 citations (88.9%) were rated as potential for more than minimal harm, D to F. None in the current files is at the immediate jeopardy level.

The interpretive guidance inspectors use for each F-tag is CMS's State Operations Manual, Appendix PP. NursingHomeClear reports the citations as CMS records them and is not affiliated with CMS. All F-tags · Methodology
