Nursing homes provide 24-hour supervised nursing care, personal care, therapy, nutrition management, organized activities, social services, room, board, and laundry. At the federal level, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services certifies nursing homes. In Washington, the state Department of Social and Health Services licenses and oversees them. Federal law requires the state to run a full health inspection, unannounced, at least every 15 months. A nursing home stay can be long-term or short-term. Many people move in for rehabilitation or short-term intensive nursing care and then return home or to another place to live.
