Vermont: CMS Rating Breakdown
Vermont has 33 CMS-certified nursing homes with an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.88 out of 5 stars in the current rating cycle. The facilities are distributed across three ownership categories: 22 are for-profit, 10 are nonprofit, and 1 is government-operated.
The Five-Star rating system provides a relative measure with known limitations, and the state average represents a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of individual facilities. A state-level average should not be interpreted as a verdict on any particular nursing home's quality or safety. The Five-Star ratings are not medical, financial, or legal advice.
When making decisions about nursing home placement or care, families and individuals should consult each facility's detailed profile on the CMS Care Compare platform and review per-facility pages directly. These resources provide comprehensive, facility-specific information that is essential for informed 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.
