Yes. All nursing home listings on ElderCare Sift are derived from publicly available data published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS.gov). This includes star ratings, certified bed counts, health inspection results, and staffing data. ElderCare Sift does not alter or fabricate this data. See our Data Sources page for details.

CMS star ratings are a useful starting point but should not be the only factor. A 5-star rating does not guarantee quality, and a 1-star rating does not mean a facility cannot provide adequate care. Families should combine CMS ratings with in-person visits, recent inspection reports, and conversations with staff and current residents’ families. See our CMS Star Ratings Guide for more details.

A low CMS rating (1-2 stars) means the facility scores well below average on health inspections, staffing, or quality measures compared to other Texas nursing homes. It does not necessarily mean the facility cannot provide adequate care in all circumstances. Families should review the specific deficiencies cited, ask about corrective actions, and visit the facility before making a decision.

CMS updates nursing home data periodically, but conditions can change between updates. Families should verify current information directly with the facility before making any care decision. Contact the nursing home to confirm bed availability, services, rates, and current staffing levels.

Most nursing homes in Texas accept Medicaid, but participation varies by facility. Check individual facility details on ElderCare Sift and confirm with the nursing home directly, as Medicaid acceptance can change. See our Medicaid vs Medicare Guide for more details.
