Idaho: CMS Rating Breakdown
Idaho is home to 80 CMS-certified nursing homes, which collectively maintain an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.11 out of 5 according to current official CMS figures. The state's nursing home sector is predominantly composed of for-profit facilities, which account for 66 of the total certified homes. Non-profit operators manage 4 facilities, while government-run homes comprise the remaining 10.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of nursing home quality but carries documented limitations that should be understood in context. A statewide average rating does not constitute a definitive judgment on any individual facility's quality or suitability. These ratings are not a substitute for medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions regarding a specific nursing home, prospective residents and their families should consult each facility's individual profile pages and access the live Care Compare data provided by CMS, which offers facility-specific performance metrics and detailed quality measures.
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.
