Does Medicare pay for a nursing home?
Medicare Part A pays for skilled nursing care in a certified nursing home for up to 100 days in each benefit period. You need a hospital stay of at least 3 days first. You pay $0 a day for days 1 to 20, then $217 a day for days 21 to 100 (2026). After day 100, Medicare pays $0. Medicare does not pay for long-term care that only helps with daily tasks. Medicare Advantage plans cover skilled nursing too, with their own costs and rules. A Medigap plan can pay the daily cost share toward the Original Medicare benefit.
What is the difference between a nursing home and assisted living?
A nursing home gives skilled nursing care and rehab around the clock. Assisted living gives a room, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing. It does not give round-the-clock nursing care. People who need daily medical care often need a nursing home. People who need help but not daily medical care often pick assisted living.
Who else pays for a nursing home besides Medicare?
Medicaid pays for nursing home care for people who meet its income and asset rules. It is the main payer for long stays. The VA pays for some veterans in VA or contract nursing homes. Long-term care insurance can pay for part of the cost. Most other costs are paid out of pocket.
