From Medicare

Whether you’re planning ahead or need to make an unexpected decision, there’s a lot to think about when choosing the right nursing home for you or your loved one. 

Medicare.gov makes it easy to find and compare nursing homes in your area. Personalize your results by filtering for what matters most to you — like inspection results, location, quality ratings, and more.

Find a Nursing Home

When comparing nursing homes:

• Check out their overall star ratings. The overall rating is based on a nursing home’s performance in 3 areas: health inspections, staffing, and quality of resident care.
• View detailed staffing data, including the staffing levels and turnover rates.
• Use the map and distance filter to find nursing home locations near you.
