Counted from the licensing and inspection records behind this page. How we count
Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
Most listings publish no price. The Springfield nursing homes median is $6,414/mo, an estimate; ask each facility for its own number in writing.
