What's Typically Included
Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24-hour skilled nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, and medical monitoring for residents with significant health needs. The Medicaid rate covers room, board, nursing care, and most services; however, some ancillary items may be billed separately.
Medicare covers short-term skilled nursing stays (up to 100 days following a qualifying hospital stay). For longer-term care, Medicaid is the primary payer for eligible residents. Private-pay rates are significantly higher than Medicaid rates and should be confirmed directly with each facility.
