Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Florida

Florida is home to 694 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes carry an average overall rating of 3.27 out of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system functions as a relative quality measure, though it carries known limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility's overall rating, health-inspection stars, and staffing stars are displayed to provide a snapshot view of performance across these dimensions.

Prospective residents and their families should recognize that the Five-Star rating represents one input among many relevant factors in selecting a nursing home. Location, the specific type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinicians all carry significant weight in the decision-making process. Before relying on any rating for a specific facility, individuals should confirm the current Five-Star rating on that home's live Medicare Care Compare profile, as ratings are subject to 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.
