About skilled nursing facilities
A skilled nursing facility is a nursing home certified by Medicare to provide skilled nursing care and therapy. Many patients come for a short stay to recover after a hospital stay. Some nursing homes also care for long-term residents.
Medicare rates nursing homes from 1 to 5 stars. The overall rating combines health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.
What CMS data can help you compare
- The overall star rating and the inspection, staffing, and quality ratings behind it.
- Whether Medicare shows an abuse icon or lists the home as a Special Focus Facility.
- Nurse staffing hours per resident per day.
- Whether the home is Medicaid-certified, if you may need Medicaid later.
Medicare can cover this type of care when its conditions are met. What is covered depends on your situation and plan. A hospital discharge planner, your plan, or Medicare.gov can tell you what applies.
