Will Medicare Pay For Alzheimer's Care? 
Medicare will pay for medical expenses for someone having Alzheimer 's , like it pays for medical expenses for persons not having Alzheimer 's . If the person with Alzheimer 's Disease needs to live in a facility due to being unable to care for themselves , and if they have been hospitalized for at least 3 days shortly before going to that facility , Medicare can help pay for up to 100 days in that facility . After that , private funds , Long Term Care Insurance benefits , or Medicaid must be used to pay for residential care .
