Understanding skilled nursing in Pennsylvania

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.

Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:

  • 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
