Nursing Home providers

Skilled nursing is appropriate when someone requires 24-hour medical supervision, complex wound care, IV therapy, rehabilitation after a stroke or surgery, or management of chronic conditions like advanced dementia or Parkinson's disease. A physician's assessment typically determines the level of care needed.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rates nursing homes on a 1-5 star scale based on health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. You can look up any Medicare-certified facility on Medicare.gov's Care Compare tool. State health departments also publish inspection reports.

Medicare covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing facility care following a qualifying hospital stay of at least 3 days. The first 20 days are fully covered; days 21–100 require a daily copay. Medicare does not cover long-term custodial care. Medicaid may cover long-term nursing home stays for those who qualify financially.

Our nursing homes directory compiles verified skilled nursing facilities across all 50 states with official CMS Care Compare star ratings (overall, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures), federal deficiency counts, state inspection reports, and Medicare/Medicaid certification status so families can compare clinical quality objectively before making an admission decision.

Nursing homes provide 24-hour skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services for seniors with complex medical needs or those recovering from illness or surgery.
