Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Crystal Lake, IL

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

Does Illinois Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Illinois 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?
