Are these the best nursing homes in Missouri?
They are the facilities CMS rates 5 stars overall — the highest rating in the government's five-star system, based on health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

What does a 5-star CMS rating mean?
CMS calculates an overall five-star rating from three components: health inspections, staffing levels relative to resident needs, and clinical quality measures. Five stars is "much above average" in CMS's own words. It reflects past reported data, so read it alongside the facility's individual records and a personal visit.
How current is this list?
