Minnesota: CMS Rating Breakdown
Minnesota operates 338 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal figures. The state's nursing homes average a Five-Star overall rating of 3.17 out of 5. By ownership structure, the facilities break down as follows: 103 for-profit homes, 210 nonprofit facilities, and 25 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations and should be understood as a broad indicator rather than a definitive assessment of any individual facility's quality. State-level averages do not reflect the performance of specific homes and should not be used as the basis for decisions about a particular facility's suitability. When evaluating a nursing home for admission or care purposes, prospective residents and their families should consult the facility's individual Care Compare profile on the CMS website and review each home's detailed performance data directly. This information is intended for context only and does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice.
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.
