F575: Post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent State agencies and advocacy groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency
F575 is one of the federal requirements every Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing home must meet. CMS describes it as: Post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent State agencies and advocacy groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency.
It sits in CMS's resident rights category.
CMS Health Deficiencies file, data as of September 1, 2026. The files hold each home's last three standard inspections and three years of complaint visits.
How seriously inspectors rate it
Every citation gets a letter for how much harm inspectors found and how many residents it touched (how to read the letters). 9.9% of F575 citations came from a complaint visit rather than a routine inspection.
By letter: B 14, C 122, D 33, E 39, F 24.

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 F575 in a nursing home inspection?
- F575 is the federal requirement to "post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent state agencies and advocacy groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the state survey agency". CMS files it under resident rights. A home cited under F575 did not meet that requirement at the inspection.
- How often is F575 cited?
- The CMS files as of September 1, 2026 list 232 F575 citations at 227 nursing homes, 54 of them in the 12 months to that date. 0.0% were rated as actual harm or immediate jeopardy.
- Is a F575 citation serious?
- It depends on the letter. Most F575 citations (41.4%) 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
