Your questions about nursing home and assisted living jobs, answered
- What's the difference between a nursing home and assisted living?
A nursing home, also called a skilled nursing facility, keeps nursing staff on site around the clock for residents who need clinical care. Assisted living supports daily living with lighter clinical staffing, and its residents are more independent.
- Which roles work in nursing homes and assisted living?
Nursing assistants give most of the direct care, with licensed practical nurses on medications and treatments, registered nurses supervising, and certified medication aides in states that allow the role.
- Do long-term care jobs run nights and weekends?
Yes, every hour of the year, usually in 8-hour shifts with a weekend rotation. Nights are quieter and thinner on staff.
- What certification do nursing home jobs need?
Nurse aides need state certification, which federal rules require in any Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home. A facility may employ an uncertified aide for up to 4 months while they train, so some run nurse aide programs themselves or pay for one against a work commitment. Our CNA guide covers the training and the exam.
