Important: PlainDoctor presents CMS Five-Star Quality Rating data exactly as published at data.cms.gov (February 2026 release) and does not calculate custom scores or rankings. This page is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a placement recommendation, or a substitute for visiting the facility in person. Before selecting a nursing home for yourself or a family member, read the full CMS survey reports, tour the property, interview staff, and consult licensed clinicians and elder-care advisors about medical and financial implications.

Reading these numbers: CMS star ratings are relative percentile rankings within each state, not absolute clinical scores, a 3-star rating means roughly average for that state, not poor care. Deficiency counts vary with survey timing and citation severity (scope and severity letters A-L). Always pair these figures with an in-person visit and direct conversations with staff and residents' families.
