Tennessee removes nursing home inspection reports from website; advocates call it the opposite of transparency

Tennessee has removed nursing home inspection and investigation reports from its state website, making it harder for residents to access critical information about facility conditions. Advocates and families, like Olivia Kritsch whose father died at the Waters of Springfield nursing home, criticize the move as a lack of transparency. The state cites HIPAA compliance and resource constraints as reasons for removing the reports, though they remain available through third-party platforms like ProPublica.
