Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Florida

Florida is home to 694 CMS-certified nursing homes registered in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 3.27 of 5 stars. The directory presents each facility with its overall rating alongside separate scores for health inspections and staffing quality, allowing for transparent comparison across institutions.

The Five-Star rating system functions as a relative quality measure with documented limitations and should be understood as a snapshot from May 2026 rather than a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. The rating represents one factor among many that prospective residents and their families should weigh when evaluating a nursing home. Location, the type of care required, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in the decision-making process. Individuals should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any decisions based on star ratings.

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.
