One-call care-quality + provider-identity read for a named US healthcare FACILITY (hospital, nursing home, home-health agency, or hospice). Joins two keyless federal sources: CMS Care Compare (data.cms.gov) for the facility's quality signal - the CMS star rating and, for a hospital, the measure-group highlights (mortality, safety of care, readmission, timely-and-effective care measured better / no different / worse vs national), plus ownership, type, and for a nursing home the health-inspection / staffing / quality-measure star breakdown, certified beds, abuse flag, and fines - and the NPPES NPI Registry for the facility's legal identity (organizational NPI, taxonomy, city/state, active status). Provide a facility name (e.g. 'Cleveland Clinic', 'Mayo Clinic Hospital'); optionally add a 2-letter state to disambiguate and a type (hospital / nursing_home / home_health / hospice) to pin the CMS dataset. When no type is given the tool infers the provider category from the NPPES taxonomy and probes the CMS datasets in order. A leg that fails is noted, not fatal. This is an INFORMATIONAL public-record read, NOT medical advice, a substitute for CMS Care Compare, or an endorsement of any facility.
