Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Somerset County, PA

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

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Pennsylvania 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.
