What federal inspectors recorded here

Pennington County, SD has 9 facilities certified by Medicare or Medicaid, as of the CMS penalty file published August 1, 2026. CMS publishes what it fined them, when it stopped paying for new admissions, how many nursing hours they staffed, and what its inspectors wrote up. These are those records counted. A penalty is an enforcement action on a date, not a verdict on the care a resident receives today.

89%8 of 9 (89%)

These figures cover nursing homes and nothing else on this site. Penalties, payroll staffing and inspection citations in this form are federal records that CMS keeps for Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes. Assisted living, memory care and in-home agencies are licensed by each state under different rules, and the state penalty files we hold are not comparable to these. We would rather show one honest set of numbers than a national-looking figure stitched from regulators that do not measure the same thing.

Every share above is printed with the number of facilities behind it. Where a place has too few facilities for a share to mean anything, we print the count and say so rather than a percentage. How we count, and what we will not count, is in our methodology.
