Nursing homes (officially "skilled nursing facilities") provide the highest level of residential care: 24/7 nursing supervision, complex medical care, rehabilitation services, and end-of-life care. 4 million Americans live in nursing homes at any given time, with the majority on Medicaid long-term care. Choosing a nursing home is high-stakes and high-information: CMS publishes a 5-star rating system based on health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, and the underlying data (full inspection reports, deficiency citations, staffing hours per resident-day) is public.
Our nursing-home coverage walks through how to read the CMS ratings, what red flags actually predict resident outcomes, how the funding system works (Medicare for short-stay rehab, Medicaid for long-term care, private pay in between), and the questions families should ask on a tour.
