- 45% of nursing homes have overall ratings of 4 or 5 stars, accounting for 41% of all nursing home residents.
- One-third of non-profit homes earn 5 stars compared to 18% of for-profit homes.
- 39% of homes with fewer than 60 beds got 5-stars compared 14% of homes with more than 120 beds.
- States with the most low-rated nursing homes are Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
- Two-thirds of all counties in the U.S. have at least one nursing home with a 4 or 5-star rating.
