Specific expenses related to assisted living may be covered by Medicaid benefits. However, housing expenses in an assisted living community are not covered by Medicaid. Care services offered at the community will be taken care of but if you are searching for financial assistance for the housing fees, Medicaid won't help out. Many states have programs and waivers meant to help relieve assisted living housing fees.
The expenses linked to moving into and living in an assisted living facility are not covered by Medicare Insurance. Medicare insurance coverage extends to short term, prescribed care or medication by a medical professional. If relocating to an assisted living community is not your choice and is being proposed by your physician, Medicare could take care of some of the costs for a specific length of time. Medicaid and other state operated programs can economically support people searching for aid.
