CMS star ratings
CMS rates every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home from 1 to 5 stars. Health inspection stars are relative to other homes in the same state: the top 10% get 5 stars and the bottom 20% get 1 star. CMS says to use the ratings together with other information, including a visit. Technical Users’ Guide
