In the United States, nursing homes are licensed by states and may also be certified for Medicare or Medicaid. Certification is not the same as a recommendation, and a provider’s participation, services, ownership, staffing, inspections, penalties, and availability can change.
Use the directory to build a shortlist, then compare each listing with Medicare Care Compare and the relevant state survey, licensing, long-term-care ombudsman, and Medicaid resources. Ask the facility which services are included in its quoted rate and which are billed separately.
What to verify
- Request the current admission agreement and an itemized estimate before committing.
- Check whether the clinical team can meet present needs and foreseeable changes.
- Review recent official findings, plans of correction, and complaint information rather than relying on a single score.
- Discuss Medicare skilled-care limits, Medicaid eligibility, private payment, insurance, and discharge planning with qualified local advisers.
