CMS Star Ratings
Medicare rates nursing homes 1–5 stars on overall quality, staffing, health inspections, and quality measures. Higher staffing ratings often reflect better day-to-day care.
Inspection History
State health departments inspect nursing homes annually. Look for patterns in deficiency citations — recurring violations in the same area are more significant than isolated incidents.
Medicaid & Medicare
Most nursing homes accept Medicare for short-term rehabilitation stays. Long-term Medicaid coverage varies by facility — confirm directly before committing to a placement.
