Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Santa Rosa, CA

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

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.

What is nursing home care?
