How this list is ranked
- The Medicare overall rating (1 to 5)
- The health inspection rating
- The staffing rating
- The quality measures rating
- Still tied: the same rank, listed alphabetically.
Each step only breaks ties of the step before. Every value is published by Medicare (CMS); a missing value counts after any value. Providers without a Medicare star rating are not ranked. A city gets a list when at least 3 nursing homes there are rated.
Common questions
What are the best nursing homes in Chicago according to Medicare?

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.
