Will Medicare pay for long-term care?

Medicare provides limited coverage for long-term care services. Most long-term custodial care is not covered under Original Medicare. Individuals may need to explore Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or private pay options for extended care needs.

Here’s what Medicare typically covers:

• Short-term skilled nursing care: Medicare may cover up to 100 days of skilled nursing care in a facility following a qualifying hospital stay.
• Home healthcare services: Certain in-home healthcare services may be covered if they are part of a plan created by a physician.
• Hospice care: For individuals nearing the end of life, Medicare provides coverage for hospice care.

How so I qualify for long-term care?

Qualifying for long-term care is typically based on an assessment of your physical and cognitive needs. Here’s what is commonly evaluated:

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): These include basic tasks like eating, dressing, toileting, bathing, and mobility. You may qualify if you need help with multiple ADLs.
• Cognitive Impairment: People with conditions such as Alzheimer’s or dementia may qualify if they require constant supervision for their safety.
• Eligibility for Medicaid: For Medicaid-supported long-term care, you must meet specific income and asset requirements set by your state.
