How we rank. Homes are ordered by Medicare’s overall star rating. When two homes tie, the one with the better health inspection rating goes first, then staffing rating, then quality rating, then fewer serious citations, then lower fines. Homes still tied are listed alphabetically.

Medicare ratings can lag behind changes at a home. Always visit, ask about recent inspections, and confirm openings, insurance and care needs with each home. How we use Medicare data
