Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Centralia, WA

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

Does Washington Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Washington 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.
