What's the difference between a nursing home and skilled nursing?

They're the same thing. "Skilled nursing facility" (SNF) is the technical term used in Medicare/Medicaid; "nursing home" is the everyday name. Both describe a licensed facility providing 24-hour medical care.

Does Medicare pay for a nursing home?

Medicare covers up to 100 days of short-term skilled nursing care after a qualifying 3-day hospital stay - days 1-20 are free, days 21-100 have a daily copay. Medicare does not pay for long-term custodial care. Medicaid is the largest payer of long-term nursing-home stays.

How do I evaluate the quality of a nursing home?

Start with the CMS 5-star rating on Medicare.gov, but don't stop there - the rating combines staffing, inspection results, and quality measures, each of which is worth examining separately. The most reliable correlate of quality outcomes is direct-care staffing hours per resident per day. Tour the facility and watch how staff interact with residents.
