Nursing homes that accept Medicaid in Missouri

All states › Missouri › Accept Medicaid

476 of the 486 nursing homes in Missouri accept Medicaid, meaning they are certified to take Medicaid residents. Their average CMS rating is 2.6 stars. The 50 highest rated are below, then every city with its count.

Medicaid certification means a home can take Medicaid; it doesn't mean a Medicaid bed is open today. Call and ask whether they have a Medicaid bed and whether they accept residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

How this list works

Which nursing homes in Missouri accept Medicaid?

476 of 486 are certified for Medicaid, according to CMS. The rest take Medicare only (usually short-term rehab after a hospital stay) or private payment.

Does Medicaid pay for a nursing home?

Medicaid pays for long-term nursing home care for people who meet their state's income and asset limits. Medicare pays only for short skilled-nursing stays after a qualifying hospital stay. Your state's Medicaid office decides eligibility.

Is this a recommendation?

No. It is a ranking of CMS's published ratings. Ratings can change every month, and a home's rating may not reflect a recent change in ownership or staff. Visit, ask questions and read the inspection reports.
