How CareGrader Ranks Nursing Homes
CareGrader grades every Medicare-certified nursing home in America from A to F using a composite score (0-100) that combines four dimensions of CMS government data: health inspections (35% weight), staffing levels from Payroll-Based Journal data (25%), quality measures (25%), and penalty history including fines (15%).
Rankings are recalculated monthly when CMS publishes updated datasets. No facility can pay to influence their grade. There are no paid placements or sponsored listings. Read our full methodology
