What kind of certification is there for long-term care facilities?

As far as the certification that's available for long-term care facilities, the federal certification comes through CMS, which is the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They license and certify both nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities, the difference being that in skilled facilities they can do more high level medical stuff like giving IV's and complex wound care and things like that. But in any event, there are also nursing facilities who are not certified. They would only be able to take essentially private patients, and possibly some patients who have long-term care insurance. But in order to get federal money to cover the needs of the residents, you have to be certified.
