Nursing Homes Directory
Use public CMS data to compare 14,693 Medicare-certified nursing homes, including an average overall star rating of 3.0 out of 5 among rated providers. Start with your state, county, or city.
What nursing homes provide
Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, care for people who need ongoing nursing, rehabilitation following a hospital stay, or long-term residential support. CMS inspects them about once a year and issues Five-Star ratings covering health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

Choosing a nursing home
To compare nursing homes, look past the star rating to the health inspection findings themselves, review nurse staffing levels and turnover, and ask about rehabilitation, memory care, and how care plans get reviewed.
The strongest comparisons weigh several signals together - inspection history, nurse staffing, quality measures, and the particular services someone requires. Ratings pull those signals into a single number, but they cannot stand in for a visit or a conversation with the staff.
Where you can, visit each option in the United States, ask how care plans are created and revisited, and get costs, coverage, and availability confirmed in writing. Steady staffing and open communication with families count for as much as any published rating.
