What Will Medicare Pay For In Assisted Living? 
Medicare does not pay for rent or amenities in privately funded assisted living communities . Considered non-medical senior housing , Medicare will not pay for your rent , meals , or anything not deemed as medical . If you have Medicare , you can still use it for your medical needs . You may be able to receive some covered services at an assisted care facility for preventative or acute care or medical emergency -LRB- therapies , medical supplies , equipment use , dietary counseling and ambulance transportation -RRB- . Thank you for taking the time to read my response . Please let me know if I can be of further assistance .
