Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Maine
Maine's Care Compare directory contains 78 CMS-certified nursing homes, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The statewide average overall rating stands at 2.95 of 5 stars. The directory lists every facility with its overall rating, health-inspection stars, and staffing stars to provide a comprehensive overview of quality metrics across the state.
The Five-Star rating system functions as a relative quality measure and carries recognized limitations. The ratings shown reflect the status as of May 2026 and should not be interpreted as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. The Five-Star system represents one of several important factors 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 members and clinical professionals all play significant roles in evaluating a nursing home.
Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making decisions based on these metrics.

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.
