01
CMS
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Published ratings, staffing, quality measures and inspection records for Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes.
Our data principles
No pay-for-placement
Facility ratings cannot be edited or boosted by paying us. There is no preferred-partner tier. Ever.
Source-traceable
Source attribution helps you check the published evidence behind a facility comparison.
Florida-first
Our directory focuses on Florida nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Available records vary by facility type.
Dates in context
Public records describe a reporting period or past event. A recent update does not mean the information reflects today’s conditions.

Public ratings and reviews where available. These reflect reviewer experiences and are separate from official inspection findings.
Reading the evidence
Know what a record can tell you.
Coverage varies. Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have different reporting requirements. A missing measure does not necessarily mean poor performance, and the same comparison may not be available for both facility types.
ClearLTC grades are our own summaries. They use published evidence to help you compare facilities and are distinct from official CMS ratings. Our methodology explains the categories, weights and safeguards behind a grade. Facilities cannot pay to change their ratings. How to interpret ClearLTC grades →
Check the dates. Source agencies publish on different schedules. An update date can differ from the reporting period or inspection date. Use the dates and coverage notes provided with a profile or report, and verify current conditions directly when they matter to your decision.
Records can differ. Agencies may report different values or cover different periods. Check the original record for context. If something looks incorrect, report an inaccuracy so we can review it.
What we don't claim to have
We'd rather be honest than oversell.
Aggregating public data has real limits. Here's what ClearLTC doesn't show you, and why.
- HIPAA-protected resident outcomes or medical records
- Confidential or unsubstantiated complaints (we only publish AHCA-substantiated)
- Internal facility documents, contracts, or financial filings
- Real-time bed availability — published rates can shift daily
- Subjective resident or family experiences beyond public Google reviews
If you're considering a placement, treat ClearLTC as the strongest starting point, and confirm specifics (current availability, room types, current pricing) directly with the facility.
