What certification means. A certified nursing home meets the federal requirements of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to receive payments from Medicare, as a skilled nursing facility, or from Medicaid, as a nursing facility. Federal rules require it to have enough nursing staff 24 hours a day, and the state agency inspects it without advance notice. Medicare covers only short stays for skilled care (nursing or therapy), usually after an inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 days, for up to 100 days per benefit period. For long stays, ask whether your family member qualifies for Medicaid.

  2. Do you accept Medicaid from admission, or only after a period of private pay? Do you take my relative’s Medicare plan?
  3. Is there staff who speaks Spanish on every shift, including nights?
  4. What therapies do you offer (physical, occupational, speech), and how many days a week?
