Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Connecticut

Connecticut is home to 191 CMS-certified nursing homes registered in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes carry an average overall rating of 3.02 out of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility is evaluated across multiple dimensions, including overall quality, health inspection performance, and staffing levels, with individual star ratings provided for each category.

Prospective residents and their families should recognize that the Five-Star rating represents only one factor among many considerations in selecting a nursing home. Location, the specific type of care required, facility visits, and direct conversations with staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in the decision-making process. Before relying on any facility's rating, individuals should confirm the current Five-Star assessment on that home's live Medicare Care Compare profile, as ratings may change over time.

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.
