How these listings are sourced

  • Medicare data. Home health agencies, hospices and nursing homes come from the CMS Provider Data Catalog (home health file of October 2026, nursing home file of September 2026). Star ratings are CMS ratings. Each card links to the provider's Care Compare record.
  • Ranking. Rated providers are listed first, highest CMS rating first. Providers CMS has not rated come after them, because no rating is unknown, not bad. Nobody can pay for a place on this list.
  • Other providers. Home care agencies, assisted living, adult day centers, disability and ABA providers come from the federal NPI registry, read October 2026. The care type is the one the provider chose when it registered. Nobody checks it, so ask what each provider actually does.
  • Location. "Based in" is the provider's own address. "Tells Medicare it serves" comes from the ZIP codes the agency reports to CMS. "Miles away" is the distance from the city center to the provider's ZIP code, so check that they cover your address.

How nursing homes is paid for

  • Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing facility care in each benefit period after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay, when daily skilled care is needed.
  • Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care in a nursing home.
  • Medicaid pays for nursing home care for people who qualify. CMS lists whether each home is certified for Medicare, Medicaid or both.
