Compare Nursing Homes

Here’s what else you can do when comparing nursing homes:

• Check out their overall star ratings. The overall rating is based on a nursing home’s performance on 3 sources: health inspections, staffing, and quality of resident care.
• View detailed staffing data, including the staffing hours of different types of staff and staff turnover rates.
• See COVID-19 vaccination rates for residents and staff at nursing homes in your area.
• Find nursing home contact information and directions.
