Size and colour
Preview
Paste it where the badge should appear: in WordPress, a Custom HTML block or a footer widget; on other sites, any spot that accepts HTML. The badge updates itself when CMS publishes new ratings.
Three sizes, light or dark
Each badge is a small image served from this site, so it always shows the current CMS figures. Pick dark for a dark background.
Standard 300×104
Overall and health inspection ratings with the home's name. For a quality, about-us or newsroom page.
Compact 160×170
The name on two lines over large overall stars. For a sidebar or a narrow column.
Footer strip 234×60
The overall rating in one strip, without the name. For the home's own site footer, where the name is already obvious.
Examples are the live badges for Atmore Nursing Center in Atmore, Alabama, a home CMS rates 5 stars overall.
What a badge shows
Questions
- Is it free?
- Yes. There's no account, no sign-up and no fee, for nursing homes, their owners, local news sites or anyone else.
- Does it update itself?
- Yes. The badge is an image served from this site. When CMS publishes new ratings and this site loads them, every badge changes within about a day, including when a rating goes down.
- Where do the ratings come from?
- From the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating System, the same ratings shown on Medicare Care Compare, currently from October 2026. Nursing Homes In Each State is independent and not affiliated with CMS or Medicare.
- Can I change the size?
- Pick the size that fits best. To make one smaller, change the width and height in the code by the same percentage (for example 75% of each); don't change only one of them, or the badge will stretch.
- Why does the code include links?
- Both the badge and the line under it link to the home's page here, so visitors can see the full CMS record behind the stars: inspections, staffing and fines. The text line also says where the rating comes from.
- Can I change the colours or the wording?
- Choose light or dark. The wording and figures stay exactly as CMS publishes them, which is what makes the badge trustworthy to families.
