Start Registry Verification
Due to a data formatting issue between 3/19/2021 and 3/24/2021, some pending investigations and substantiated allegations of abuse, neglect, misappropriation of property, fraud or diversion of drugs for nurse aides and other unlicensed health care personnel may not have been displayed on this website.
If you used this website between 3/19-3/24/2021, we recommend you re-check the names of those nurse aides or unlicensed individuals to verify information about any pending investigations or substantiated allegations.
