Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Maine
Maine is home to 78 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 statewide average overall rating stands at 2.95 of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings displayed here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Prospective residents and their families should recognize that the Five-Star rating represents one factor among many that influence the selection of a nursing home. Location, the specific care services needed, an in-person visit to the facility, and direct conversations with staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in making an informed decision.
Before finalizing any choice based on these ratings, individuals should confirm each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile, as ratings may be updated regularly. The comprehensive listings provided here include each facility's overall rating alongside its health-inspection and staffing star ratings, allowing for quick comparison across the state's nursing home options.
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.
