Nursing homes are skilled nursing facilities that provide a variety of personal care services and health services. They offer rehabilitation services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Nursing homes further provide medical care and supervision to those who need it. Residents of nursing homes, usually have severe illnesses, and cognitive impairments like problems with thinking and learning, or disability.
The government sets quality standards for skilled nursing facilities that serve people who have Medicare or Medicaid coverage; thus, state licensure of nursing homes usually follows the government’s standards.
For Medicare, they pay for some related costs such as doctors’ service and supplies but they don’t cover long-term stays in nursing homes.
