Paying for Nursing Home Care

Nursing home care is for those who need 24-hour nursing care and assistance with more than three activities of daily living.

Nursing homes may be based within a hospital or they may be freestanding facilities. Some nursing homes also provide long-term specialized care units for a variety of conditions including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease (dementia)
  • Hospice
  • Rehabilitation and stroke
  • Respite care

Older adults considering long-term care housing may wish to choose a residence close to home. To browse a list of all licensed nursing homes in Pennsylvania, see the following resource:
