Connecticut: CMS Rating Breakdown
Connecticut operates 191 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current official figures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing home landscape is predominantly composed of for-profit facilities, which account for 153 of the certified homes. Non-profit operators run 36 facilities, while government-operated homes comprise the remaining 2 facilities.
Across the state's nursing home network, the average Five-Star overall rating stands at 3.02 out of 5 for the current rating cycle. This aggregate figure represents a broad snapshot of the sector's performance and should be understood within the context of the Five-Star rating system's documented limitations and relative methodology. A state-level average does not constitute a judgment on individual facilities and varies significantly by location, operator type, and specific services provided.
The Five-Star ratings are not medical, financial, or legal advice. When evaluating a particular nursing home for care decisions, individuals should consult each facility's dedicated per-facility pages and its current Care Compare profile on the CMS website, which provide detailed, facility-specific quality metrics, inspection histories, and staffing information. These resources offer a more granular assessment suitable for informed decision-making.
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.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
