Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Minnesota
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Minnesota?
Assisted living in Minnesota is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
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.
