F742: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder
F742 is one of the federal requirements every Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing home must meet. CMS describes it as: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder.
It sits in CMS's quality of life and care category.

Common questions
- What is F742 in a nursing home inspection?
- F742 is the federal requirement to "provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress disorder". CMS files it under quality of life and care. A home cited under F742 did not meet that requirement at the inspection.
- How often is F742 cited?
- The CMS files as of September 1, 2026 list 491 F742 citations at 460 nursing homes, 101 of them in the 12 months to that date. 16.7% were rated as actual harm or immediate jeopardy.
- Is a F742 citation serious?
- It depends on the letter. Most F742 citations (83.3%) were rated as potential for more than minimal harm, D to F. 41 were immediate jeopardy, the most serious 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
