Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Minnesota
Minnesota is home to 338 CMS-certified nursing homes registered 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 3.17 of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system is a relative quality measure with recognized limitations. The ratings presented here reflect the status as of May 2026 and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. This metric represents one factor among many that families and prospective residents should weigh when evaluating a facility. Location, the specific types of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with nursing home staff and clinicians all play important roles in the decision-making process.
Each facility listed in this directory is presented with its overall rating alongside separate ratings for health inspections and staffing quality, providing a multifaceted snapshot of performance across key areas. However, the ratings shown here may not reflect the most current information. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating directly on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on this data.
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.
