How It Works

1

Search Nursing Homes

Browse 14,699 Medicare-certified nursing homes by state, rating, or name. Every facility includes CMS quality ratings, deficiency counts, and fine amounts.

2

Compare Ratings

Each nursing home has six CMS ratings: overall, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, long-stay QM, and short-stay QM. Compare facilities side by side to find the best care.

3

Review Staffing & Fines

Check staffing levels (RN, LPN, and aide hours per resident day), total deficiencies from inspections, and any fines imposed by CMS for regulatory violations.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rates every Medicare-certified nursing home on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The overall rating combines three components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. A 5-star rating indicates quality well above average, while 1 star means quality much below average. This database contains 14,699 facilities across 53 states.

Deficiencies are violations found during state health inspections. They range from minor issues to serious problems that put residents at risk. When deficiencies are severe or repeated, CMS can impose monetary fines on the facility. The number of deficiencies and total fines are indicators of a nursing home's compliance history.

All data comes from the CMS Provider Data Catalog, specifically the Nursing Home Compare dataset. CMS publishes this data through its public API at data.cms.gov. The dataset includes facility information, star ratings, staffing hours, deficiency counts, and fine amounts for all Medicare-certified nursing homes in the United States.
