Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Minnesota
Minnesota is home to 338 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 3.17 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a relative quality measure, though the system has documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect the status as of May 2026 and should not be construed as a recommendation or guarantee of care quality. The Five-Star rating functions as one input among many factors that deserve consideration when evaluating a facility. Location, the specific care needs of the resident, an in-person visit, and direct conversations with facility staff and clinicians all play significant roles in the decision-making process.
Before making a final decision about any nursing home, prospective residents and their families should confirm each facility's current rating through its live Medicare Care Compare profile to ensure the information reflects the most up-to-date assessment available.
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.
