How We Grade Nursing Homes

Our Aโ€“F grades combine three key data sets from CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), weighted to reflect what matters most to families:

35%
Health Inspections
Deficiency counts, severity, and citation history
30%
Staffing Levels
RN hours per resident, total nursing hours vs. national averages
35%
Quality Measures
Resident outcomes, hospital readmissions, vaccination rates

Why We're Different

  • โœ“
    No pay-to-play. A Place for Mom charges facilities thousands per lead. We don't. Our rankings can't be bought.
  • โœ“
    Real CMS data. We use the same raw federal inspection data regulators use โ€” not self-reported facility marketing materials.
  • โœ“
    Transparent methodology. We publish exactly how we calculate every grade. Nothing hidden.
  • โœ“
    Updated quarterly. After every CMS data release, all 15,000 grades are recalculated.
  • โœ“
    Aโ€“F grades everyone understands. CMS 1โ€“5 stars are confusing. Our letter grades are instant and intuitive.
