• Nursing homes with the abuse icon — facilities CMS marks for a citation of abuse that led to harm, or a repeated potential for it, in the recent inspection cycles. JSON
• The largest fines this year — the fines CMS lists with a penalty date in the current year, largest first. JSON
• Chains by CMS rating — every chain CMS lists, ranked by the chain-average overall rating CMS publishes. JSON
• No health inspection in more than two years — facilities CMS flags as not having had a standard health inspection in over two years. JSON
