Quick answers about MyCareRatings, CMS quality data, and searching for care.
MyCareRatings helps people compare Medicare-certified nursing homes, hospitals, and home health care providers using public quality information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
MyCareRatings currently helps you compare three care settings: Nursing Homes, Hospitals, and Home Health Care.
The ratings displayed by MyCareRatings come from CMS public datasets. Rating methodologies differ by care setting and may reflect measures such as quality, safety, inspections, staffing, and patient experience.
Where CMS provides an overall star rating, a higher number indicates a stronger CMS rating for that measure. Ratings are one part of a care decision and should be considered alongside your individual needs and conversations with providers and healthcare professionals.
Choose a care type, then search by state, city, ZIP code, or a combination of those filters. You can also set a minimum rating when rating data is available.
