Puerto Rico: CMS Rating Breakdown
Puerto Rico has nine CMS-certified nursing homes in the current rating cycle, with an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.33 out of 5. The facilities break down by ownership type as follows: six for-profit facilities, three nonprofit facilities, and zero government-operated facilities.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative indicator and has documented limitations. An average rating across a state or territory is a broad measure of performance, not a definitive assessment of any individual facility. When evaluating a specific nursing home, prospective residents and their families should consult the facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the CMS website for detailed, current information. Such research is particularly important when making decisions about care placement, financial commitment, or other matters with significant personal or medical implications.
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.
