The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
announced on Friday, August 15, 2025, they will temporarily pause Nursing Home Care Compare updates. They noted the pause is related to their recent transition to a cloud-based Internet Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES). The memo states, “To ensure seamless integration and maintain the highest standards of data accuracy, CMS will temporarily pause monthly updates to the Nursing Home Care Compare Five Star Rating System, as of July 30, 2025, continuing through September.”
This will result in the information currently displayed remaining static and will not reflect any updates. Regular updates are anticipated to resume in October. CMS did remind providers that they are responsible for continuing to post their most recent survey findings (2567) in a publicly accessible area within the facility.
