Federal inspection records of Wisconsin nursing homes dated September 2009 through November 2012. This data set focuses on only those deficiencies deemed to put residents in “immediate jeopardy” (known as class J, K, and L violations). Data were compiled by ProPublica, an independent nonprofit investigative news organization, as part of its Nursing Home Inspect app. The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism used ProPublica’s data to create this visualization.
The nonprofit Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism (www.WisconsinWatch.org) collaborates with Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television, other news media and the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication. All works created, published, posted or disseminated by the Center do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of UW-Madison or any of its affiliates.
