Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) have released a previously secret list of nearly 400 nursing homes across the country that received “persistent record of poor care” ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Six of the nursing homes are in Delaware. CMS does reveal the names of nursing homes that receive that rating and are subsequently put into a federal program where they receive increased oversight. However, due to budget restraints, that program currently oversees only about 80 homes. The remaining 400 had been kept anonymous until the senators released the report Monday.
