How this list is ranked

Common questions
How is this list ranked?
By the Medicare overall rating (1 to 5), the health inspection rating, the staffing rating and the quality measures rating, in that order, all as published by Medicare (CMS). Providers equal on all of these share a rank and are listed alphabetically. Providers without a Medicare star rating are not ranked. We do not add our own scores.
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.
