Texas: CMS Rating Breakdown
Texas is home to 1,176 CMS-certified nursing homes. According to current official CMS figures, the state's nursing homes have an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.7 out of 5. By ownership structure, 831 facilities operate on a for-profit basis, 117 are nonprofit, and 228 are government-run.
The Five-Star rating system has documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator of the nursing home landscape rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility. A statewide average does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, individuals should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile provided by CMS to obtain detailed, facility-specific information.
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.
