How to pick a nursing home fast — when discharge is this week

Placement decisions happen in days under discharge-planner pressure. Here's the order that works:

  1. Start with CMS data, not Google reviewsStars you can audit beat anecdotes you can't. CMS Care Compare is a maze — we turn it into one ranked list.
  2. Decide what matters before you tourStaffing? Inspection record? Our 4-minute quiz weights the scoring to your family — then every home is scored the same way.
  3. Call the top 2 tomorrow morningAsk about availability, the care your parent needs, and the red flags in your report. Then tour one announced, one unannounced on a weekend evening.

Questions families ask

Is the quiz really free?

Yes. The quiz and your top-3 matches with scores are free, no account needed. We ask for your email so we can send your matches and follow up with genuinely useful guidance (unsubscribe anytime, one click). The $29 full report — every match ranked, with strengths, red flags, decoded ratings, tour questions, and a printable PDF — is how we keep the lights on.

Where does the data come from?

Every rating we show comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) nursing-home dataset. We never invent, estimate, or round-up ratings. If CMS hasn't rated a home, we show "not rated" — never zero stars.

Is this medical advice?

No. CareRank is a research starting point, not medical advice. Always tour, call, and verify before deciding — the full report gives you the exact questions to ask on each tour.

What if no homes near me fit?

We'll tell you honestly instead of faking it — and suggest widening your distance or adjusting the minimum star filter. We'd rather lose a $29 sale than send your parent somewhere wrong.

The discharge planner says my dad can't go home — how fast do I have to decide?

Usually in days, not weeks — that's the pressure every family in this spot feels. Tonight: take the 4-minute quiz and see how many homes near you fit ("3 of 14 homes fit your needs"). Tomorrow morning: call the top 2 from your shortlist about availability and your dad's care needs. This week: tour with the per-facility questions from the $29 report. You don't need 40 options. You need 3 good ones, ranked.

How do I pick a nursing home fast without picking wrong?

Don't start with Google reviews — start with CMS data, scored the same way for every home. Decide what matters most to your family first (staffing levels? inspection record?), then rank every home against it. That's exactly what CareRank does: deterministic scoring over CMS data, no invented ratings, red flags surfaced before the tour instead of after.

How do I unsubscribe from emails?

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can always use our unsubscribe page. One click, no login, no "are you sure" maze.
