Get an email when this record changes

One email a day naming what moved on COMFORT CARE NURSING CENTER: the field, the value before, the value after, and the date of the file that first showed it.

The facility alert follows this one record: a cost report filed or a figure on one changed, an inspection, a deficiency or a penalty recorded, an owner added or removed. The certification number arrives filled in.

On 1 September 2025: JAMES CANIZARO no longer appears as CORPORATE OFFICER in the Medicare enrollment ownership file. That is one line of the alert.

The citable document for COMFORT CARE NURSING CENTER

This page shows the record as it stands today. The report is the citable document: the same figures with the cell each came from, and beyond this page — five facilities of a similar size in Mississippi at the same fiscal year, listed by name; every change on the record rather than the recent ones below; the inspection and staffing history in blocks of their own; and a citation block naming every CMS file it was read from.
