Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Idaho
Idaho is home to 80 CMS-certified nursing homes registered in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes have an average overall rating of 3.11 out of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure, though it has documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect the May 2026 assessment and are not intended as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. The Five-Star rating represents one factor among many that should inform decisions about nursing home selection. Location, the type of specialized care required, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with staff and clinical personnel all play important roles in evaluating a nursing home.
The ratings shown in this directory break down into three categories: overall stars, health-inspection stars, and staffing stars, providing a multifaceted view of facility performance. Individuals and families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on these 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.
