Who pays for my care while in the nursing home?
There are multiple options available to pay for skilled nursing care. Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, various insurance policies, and private pay may cover all or part of skilled nursing care. Some of these plans may have deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance amounts for which the patient may be responsible.
