Should the elderly be expected to pay for residential care out of their own social security or medicare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Who pays?: Medicare does not pay for long term care, assisted living, home care, transportation. So , yes, unless you financially qualify for medicaide, you will need to pay for residential care or home care(unless there is a skilled nursing need, then medicare will pay for a while in rehab or home care).
