Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Providence, RI

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Rhode Island?

Does Rhode Island Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Rhode Island Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Providence, RI?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing.
