Civil Money Penalty (CMP) Funded Resources

Under the Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program (CMPRP), CMP funds can be used to improve the quality of life by equipping nursing home staff, administrators, and stakeholders with technical tools and assistance, directly benefiting nursing home residents and enhancing their quality of care and quality of life.

A CMP-funded program, the Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities, was launched in September 2022 through a partnership between CMS and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Although the three-year program ended in September 2025, its training materials and resources remain accessible to nursing homes, offering ongoing support for staff development and improved behavioral health care for residents with behavioral needs.

Additionally, CMS has developed optional CMPRP Toolkits that serve as evidence-based resources to help nursing home teams reduce adverse events, improve staffing quality, and enhance dementia care. These practical tools are designed to support voluntary quality improvement initiatives and provide nursing homes with actionable strategies to enhance the delivery of care.

The resources in this section reflect a collaborative effort to support nursing homes in their mission to deliver exceptional care. Whether you’re seeking behavioral health training materials, quality improvement toolkits, or guidance on implementing evidence-based practices, these tools are designed to be practical, accessible, and impactful for both staff and residents. The comprehensive resource list can be sorted by type and/or category to easily identify the material and topic you need easily. You may also use the search tool (‘Filter On’) to refine your results.

For questions, please contact the CMS CMPRP Team at CMP-info@cms.hhs.gov. For information about the CMPRP, visit the CMS CMPRP webpage at CMS.gov.

Note: It's important to note that these toolkits are not mandated by CMS, and their use does not guarantee compliance with federal requirements; nursing homes must still independently meet all applicable CMS regulations and standards.
