Skilled Nursing: what you're actually buying
A nursing home, or skilled nursing facility (SNF), provides licensed 24/7 medical care for serious conditions and post-hospital recovery — a higher level of care than assisted living.
Pennsylvania nursing homes are licensed separately from PCH/ALR by the Department of Health (DOH) as Long-Term Care Nursing Facilities under 28 Pa. Code Chapter 211, and are CMS-certified, with quality data public on Medicare's Care Compare. A typical monthly range is $11,000 to $14,000 a month for a private room.
The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:
- the CMS star rating and the most recent DOH survey cycles
- the RN-to-resident staffing level, not just total nursing hours
- whether the facility handles your parent's specific medical needs on-site
