Where do American nursing homes get funding?

Almost all countries have some sort of "nursing home" care for the elderly and indigent (people who have no money or assets and cannot take care of themselves).

Most governments (from national to local) have some part in the funding of homes or to reimburse for care. How much funding is contributed varies and the laws concerning funding likely vary from country to country.

In the poorest countries, old and infirm persons still stay in their homes, cared for by family or even very young children.
