Idaho: CMS Rating Breakdown

Idaho is home to 80 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services figures. The state's nursing homes carry an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.11 out of 5. By ownership structure, the facilities break down as follows: 66 for-profit establishments, 4 nonprofit facilities, and 10 government-operated homes.

The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance but has documented limitations. A state-level average represents general context rather than an assessment of any individual facility's quality or operation. These ratings are not medical, financial, or legal advice. Individuals evaluating specific nursing homes should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the CMS website to make fully informed decisions.

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.
