When a resident of a nursing home passes away, the facility typically follows established protocols to handle the situation respectfully and legally. Staff members notify the appropriate authorities, which may include the resident's physician and local health officials. The body is usually taken to a designated area or a funeral home, where arrangements can be made by the deceased's family. Nursing homes often provide support to the family during this difficult time, offering resources for grief counseling and funeral planning.

Most insurances will cover the cost of their stay at the nursing home.
