Connecticut: CMS Rating Breakdown
Connecticut has 191 CMS-certified nursing homes currently rated in the Five-Star system. The state's average overall rating stands at 3.02 out of 5 stars. By ownership structure, the facilities break down as follows: 153 are for-profit operations, 36 are nonprofit, and 2 are government-run. These figures represent official CMS data from the current rating cycle.
The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations and should be understood as a broad state-level indicator rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility's quality or performance. The state average does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, prospective residents and their families should consult the facility's individual profile page and review its live Care Compare profile directly through CMS, which provides detailed facility-specific information and current performance data.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
