North Dakota: CMS Rating Breakdown
North Dakota is home to 72 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services figures. The facilities carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.28 out of 5. By ownership structure, the state's nursing homes break down as follows: 4 for-profit facilities, 65 nonprofit facilities, and 3 government-operated facilities.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator of performance rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility. A statewide average does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice and should not be used as the sole basis for decision-making. When evaluating a specific facility for care, stakeholders should consult the facility's individual Care Compare profile on the CMS website and review per-facility performance pages to obtain comprehensive and current information relevant to their circumstances.
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.
