Find Nursing Homes and other health care providers on Care Compare on Medicare.gov

Last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releasedCare Compare on Medicare.gov, streamlining our 8 existing health care compare tools.

Since those 8 original compare tools – like Nursing Home Compare – will be retired soon, we urge you to:

·       Use Care Compareand encourage the people with Medicare and their caregivers you work with to start using it, too. 

·       Update any links to the 8 original care toolson yourpublic-facing websites so they’ll direct your audiences to Care Compare.

Care Compare offers a new design that makes it easier to find the same information that’s on the original compare tools. It gives you, patients, and caregivers one user-friendly place to find cost, quality of care, service volume, and other data to help make informed health care decisions.

Now, instead of having to search through many compare tools, with just one click on Care Compare, you’ll find easy-to-understand information about nursing homes, hospitals, doctors, and other health care providers.

Start using Care Compare on Medicare.gov today.
