Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a nursing home and assisted living?
A nursing home, also called a skilled nursing facility, provides 24-hour medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services and long-term custodial care. Assisted living provides help with daily activities in a more residential setting, without that level of on-site medical care.
What do the CMS star ratings mean?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rates every certified nursing home from one to five stars on health inspections, staffing and quality measures, plus an overall rating. We publish all four on each profile, alongside the underlying citations and staffing hours they are built from.
How much does a nursing home cost?
Nursing home costs are the highest of any care type and vary sharply by state. Our state-by-state cost guide covers typical semi-private and private room rates.
Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for nursing home care?
Medicare covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, not long-term custodial care. Medicaid is the largest payer of long-term nursing home care for residents who meet their state's eligibility rules.
