NURSING HOME

What is a Nursing Home?

A nursing home is the highest care environment for today’s seniors that require the skilled nursing services of a physician, nurse, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or respiratory therapist. These facilities are mostly paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. A nursing home is usually used more for a short-term rehabilitation stay than a long-term care facility option unless the senior is on a Medicaid program.


Most seniors will never need a nursing home due to the increased services that Assisted Living, and Dementia/Alzheimer’s/Memory Care Communities can perform. Private pay is rarely used in this care setting due to recurring costs ranging from $250.00 to $400.00 per day, varying by state.  Nursing homes are considered the most restrictive environments for seniors.

 

Special licensing is required in certain states.
