A nursing home is a place for people who can't be cared for at home and need 24-hour nursing care. In Washington, DC, there are approximately 3 Medicare certified nursing homes. Medicare Part A may cover care from a nursing home, but ONLY if it is medically necessary to have skilled nursing care. Medicare DOES NOT cover custodial care.
