What to compare
How to choose a nursing home
A nursing home (skilled nursing facility) provides round-the-clock nursing care. The best way to compare them is across several independent signals — not any single number.
Medicare star rating
CMS rates every certified nursing home 1–5 stars overall, with separate ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Read the components, not just the headline number.
Inspections & violations
Recent health-inspection deficiencies — with their scope and severity — surface day-to-day care problems a single star rating can hide.
Staffing levels
Registered-nurse hours per resident day, compared against the federal minimum, is one of the strongest predictors of care quality.
Penalties & ownership
Federal fines, payment denials, and Special Focus status flag facilities under scrutiny; ownership and chain affiliation show who actually runs them.

Good to know
Nursing homes — frequently asked questions
How do I find a good nursing home near me?
Search your city or ZIP above to see every nursing home in the area, then compare them on CMS Medicare star ratings, recent health-inspection violations, nurse staffing hours, and family reviews — all from public data, with no paid placement.
What's the difference between a nursing home and a skilled nursing facility?
They're largely the same. A skilled nursing facility (SNF) is the Medicare term for a nursing home that provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and rehabilitation. EveryPlace lists 14,870 Medicare-certified nursing homes / SNFs nationwide.
What should I look for when comparing nursing homes?
Weigh the CMS overall star rating together with its components — health inspections, staffing, and quality measures — plus the facility's recent deficiency history, registered-nurse hours per resident day versus the federal minimum, and any federal penalties.
Does EveryPlace charge nursing homes for placement?
No. EveryPlace is an independent research directory built entirely on public records (CMS Care Compare and state licensing). No nursing home pays for placement, ranking, or removal.
