The proportions of citations for deficiencies in nursing homes across the U.S. varied from 100 percent in Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming and the District of Columbia, to 76 percent in Rhode Island.

Around 17 percent of nursing homes evaluated actually were given the most serious violations for "actual harm" or "immediate jeopardy."
