About the CMS 5-star rating (and what this list is not)
The overall five-star rating is calculated by CMS from three components — health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. It summarizes past reported data and is not a guarantee about a facility’s current conditions. This page lists the facilities CMS rates 5 stars; it is not a ranking, score, or recommendation from SeniorCareRating.com. Confirm any facility’s current rating on Medicare’s Care Compare, and visit in person before deciding.
