State inspectors conduct yearly health and safety inspections of nursing homes for compliance with Medicare and Medicaid regulations. A nursing home may also be inspected based on a complaint submitted by a resident (or other individual), or based on a facility's self-reported incident. Nursing homes are also inspected for compliance with infection control and prevention standards.

Higher staffing levels and lower staffing turnover in a nursing home may mean higher quality of care for residents. Hours worked by different types of staff are reported by nursing homes, and are used to calculate a ratio of staffing hours per resident per day and the staffing turnover rate. Hours per resident per day describe the average amount of time staff are available to spend with each resident each day. Staff turnover describes how many staff stop working at the facility within a given year.
