Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Maryland
Maryland is home to 221 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes carry an average overall rating of 3.12 out of 5 stars.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings displayed here reflect data current as of May 2026 and should not be construed as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility's profile includes its overall rating alongside separate ratings for health inspections and staffing levels, providing a multi-dimensional view of performance.
The Five-Star rating represents one input among numerous factors that should inform decisions about nursing home selection. Location, the specific level and type of care required, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with clinical staff and administrators all play meaningful roles in evaluating whether a particular home aligns with an individual's needs. Prospective residents and their families should verify each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making final decisions based on the data presented here.
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.
