Minnesota: CMS Rating Breakdown
Minnesota is home to 338 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.17 out of 5, according to current official CMS figures. The state's nursing home landscape is composed of 103 for-profit facilities, 210 nonprofit facilities, and 25 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance but has documented limitations. A state-level average should not be interpreted as a definitive assessment of any individual facility's quality or as medical, financial, or legal guidance. Those evaluating specific nursing homes should consult each facility's dedicated per-facility pages and its current Care Compare profile to obtain detailed, facility-specific information relevant to decision-making.
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.
