The U . S . News Best Nursing Homes ratings are based on a comprehensive analysis of publicly available data , considering factors beyond the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services star ratings . Unlike CMS star ratings , U . S . News evaluates nursing homes based on their performance in two distinct areas :
— Short-term rehabilitation for patients recovering from illness , injury or surgery .
— Long-term care for residents who require ongoing support .
