How are these ratings calculated?

The CMS five-star quality rating comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Read our plain-language explainer for nursing homes to understand exactly what each star means — and what it does not.

Data as of June 20, 2026 · Source: CMS Provider Data Catalog.

Informational only. Star ratings and facility details come from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Care Compare / Provider Data Catalog (public domain) and may be out of date or contain errors. This is not medical advice and not a substitute for visiting a facility — always confirm details directly with the provider and with CMS before making a decision.
