Nursing Homes by State

Compare nursing home quality, staffing, and penalties across 53 U.S. states and territories.

Coverage scope: every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing facility reporting to the CMS Nursing Home Compare dataset (state operators of long-term care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation beds). State totals reflect facility counts and weighted-average CMS Five-Star ratings as of the latest monthly refresh, not subjective rankings; see our methodology for refresh cadence and how each state average is computed.
