A clearer way to evaluate Texas nursing homes

Choosing a nursing home for someone you love is one of the hardest decisions a family can face — and the information you need is often scattered, hard to read, or buried in government databases. Texas Nursing Home Guide brings it all into one place. We pull directly from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to give you transparent, up-to-date profiles for all 1,176 CMS-certified nursing homes across Texas, spanning every one of the state's 216 counties.

For each facility you can see its overall CMS star rating, health-inspection history, staffing levels, quality measures, and any fines or penalties on record — the same data regulators use, presented in plain language. Our searchable directory lets you filter by rating, county, ownership type, and enforcement history, so you can quickly narrow down to the homes that fit your family's needs.

We're an independent information resource, not a facility or a government agency. Alongside the data, we publish practical family guides on how to read the ratings, spot warning signs, understand costs and Medicaid, and know your legal rights. And if you suspect abuse or neglect, we can connect you with experienced Texas nursing home attorneys for a free, confidential case review.
