What to compare
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.
CMS assigns 1–5-star ratings to certified nursing homes when enough data is available, with separate ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Read the components, not just the headline number.
Recent health-inspection deficiencies — with their scope and severity — surface day-to-day care problems a single star rating can hide.
Registered-nurse hours per resident day, compared with a clearly labeled reference benchmark and nearby facilities, can add useful context about staffing.
Federal fines, payment denials, and Special Focus status flag facilities under scrutiny; ownership and chain affiliation show who actually runs them.

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 14,744 Medicare-certified nursing homes / SNFs nationwide.
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 EveryPlace reference benchmark, and any federal penalties.
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.
