Medicare star ratings
Best-Rated Hospitals, Nursing Homes and More by City
Ranked lists for U.S. cities, built only from Medicare’s official star ratings, plus emergency room wait times. A city gets a list when Medicare rates at least 3 providers of that kind there.
Ranked by Medicare star ratings, not by us. Ratings summarize past inspections, staffing, surveys and other measures; they are one piece of information. Call, visit and ask your doctor before you choose. In a medical emergency, call 911.

Common questions
Is this our recommendation?
No. The order comes only from Medicare’s star ratings, which summarize inspections, staffing, patient surveys and other measures for past patients. They do not say which provider is right for one person. Ask your doctor, call, and visit.
