FAQs
Does Medicaid pay for nursing homes?▾
Yes. In all 50 states, Medicaid covers skilled nursing facility care for eligible residents — including room, board, and medical services — when income, asset, and level-of-care requirements are met. Assisted living coverage is more limited and varies by state waiver.
How do I qualify for Medicaid for a nursing home?▾
You generally need to pass a financial test (income and countable assets within state limits), survive the 60-month asset look-back review, and receive a clinical determination that nursing-facility-level care is medically necessary. Each state administers its own Medicaid program with slightly different rules.
Does CMS rate assisted living facilities?▾
No. Medicare Care Compare covers skilled nursing homes, hospitals, home health, and hospice — not assisted living. For assisted living inspections, use our state facility safety lookup.
How often is CMS nursing home data updated?▾
CMS updates the Provider Data Catalog periodically — typically monthly. We cache results for 24 hours to balance freshness and performance.
What is a Special Focus Facility?▾
A nursing home with a history of serious quality issues that CMS monitors more closely. These appear with warnings in our results.
