[quote=Anonymous]From the second US News article below:

[i]“Nursing homes are subject to more government oversight by both the state and federal governments to ensure quality. The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services oversees nursing homes. Assisted living communities are subject to state regulations.” [/i]

This may address some of what you’re looking for with regard to nursing home regulations more specifically:

Article that similarly addresses assisted living (state) regulations:

The below articles also offer a good review of the differences between nursing homes and assisted living, and touch on regulations and decisions about level of care needed, with more resources and contact info:
