Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in St. Paul, MN

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Minnesota 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.
