Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Lancaster, CA
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?

Does California Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — California 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.
