Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Washington, DC
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in District of Columbia?

Does District of Columbia Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — District of Columbia 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?
