Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Vermont
Vermont is home to 33 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.88 of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect the status as of May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. This metric represents one factor among many that merit consideration when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical personnel all play significant roles in the decision-making process.
Each of the 33 facilities is presented with its overall rating alongside its health-inspection and staffing stars, allowing for a quick comparison across categories. Individuals and families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any decisions based on this information.
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.
