Missouri: CMS Rating Breakdown
Missouri operates 487 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal data. The state's nursing homes are predominantly for-profit operations, accounting for 386 facilities, while 79 are nonprofit and 22 are government-run. These facilities carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.48 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations as a measurement tool, and state-level averages represent broad indicators of performance rather than definitive assessments of individual facilities. The rating should not be interpreted as medical, financial, or legal guidance. When making decisions about nursing home selection or care, individuals should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website to review detailed performance metrics specific to that location.
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.
