Missouri: CMS Rating Breakdown

Missouri has 487 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal data. The state's average Five-Star overall rating stands at 2.48 out of 5. By ownership type, the distribution includes 386 for-profit facilities, 79 nonprofit facilities, and 22 government-operated homes.

The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations, and state-level averages function as broad indicators rather than definitive assessments of individual facilities. The rating methodology is relative in nature and should not be interpreted as medical, financial, or legal guidance. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, individuals should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the CMS database to access current, detailed performance data tailored to that particular location.

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.
