Nursing home safety review

Request a safety review

Tell us about the facility and who at the ownership group should receive the findings. We will follow up to scope it.

What does the registration form ask for?

It is short. Five minutes, and none of it is clinical.

• Who referred you.
• The administrative contact in the practice or ownership group.
• The facility name and address.
• A contact email and phone number, and a fax number if you use one.

What the conversation afterward settles

• Licensure type — skilled nursing, assisted living, or both — and whether there is a dedicated memory-care unit.
• Which buildings are in scope, if you run more than one.
• Who in the ownership group receives findings, and the counsel address the reporting channel should transmit to. How reports reach you.
• Whether you want the on-site reporting channel and QR codes as part of it, or the review alone.
• Whether facility management has been told, and how you want that handled. This matters more than it sounds.

What does a safety review deliver?

• Findings against all 189 items in the 54 categories, delivered to the ownership group.
• The categories that failed, with what was observed.
• A comparable baseline, because the list does not change between buildings or between visits.

What does a safety review not deliver?

• A certificate, a seal, a rating or an accreditation. CareGuard issues none of those.
• A regulatory filing. A review is a private engagement with no standing before any agency.
• A defense. It is a description of a building on a day, and this site gives no legal advice.

Prefer to talk first?

Use the contact form and we will call you back. CareGuard does not publish prices and does not quote by email; scope depends on the building.

How does a nursing home safety review work?

1. Scope. Which buildings, whether the reporting channel is included, and who receives findings.
2. Configuration, if the channel is included. The counsel email reports are transmitted to, and who inside the ownership group is copied. How reports reach you.
3. The walkthrough. All 189 items in the 54 categories, on site.
4. Findings to ownership. Item by item, with what was observed.
5. Whatever you decide to do about it. That part is entirely yours; CareGuard has no authority to require anything.

Should you tell facility managers before a review?

A review a site manager discovers is an audit. A review a site manager is shown in advance is a budget argument they can use with you. Both produce findings; only one produces a building that stays fixed. Ownership and management.

Frequently asked questions

What does a nursing home safety review check?

A CareGuard safety review walks the building on site against all 189 items in 54 categories. The list does not change between buildings or between visits, so the findings give ownership a comparable baseline. Findings go to the ownership group item by item, including the categories that failed and what was observed.

Is a safety review the same as a state inspection?

No. A CareGuard review is a private engagement with the facility’s ownership. It is not a regulatory filing, it has no standing before any agency, and CareGuard has no authority to require anything. What ownership does with the findings is entirely its decision. The review describes a building on a day; it is not a defense and not legal advice.

Who receives the findings of a safety review?

The ownership group does, not the site manager. During scoping you name who in the ownership group receives findings and, if the on-site reporting channel is included, the counsel address reports are transmitted to. Tell facility managers in advance: a review a manager is shown ahead of time becomes a budget argument they can use with you.

How do I request a nursing home safety review?

Fill in the registration form. It takes about five minutes and none of it is clinical: who referred you, the administrative contact in the practice or ownership group, the facility name and address, and a contact email and phone number. A follow-up conversation settles licensure type, which buildings are in scope and whether the reporting channel is included.
