Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Waterbury, CT
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Connecticut?

Yes — Connecticut 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?
