FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Long-Term Care
What is a long-term care facility?
A long-term care facility provides medical support and daily living assistance for individuals who can no longer live fully independently. Care can be combined with skilled nursing for those managing advancing conditions such as moderate Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Are nursing homes considered long-term care?
Long-term care offers the same quality as a nursing home and shares many of the same services, though they are not identical. A nursing home is one type of long-term care setting with a greater emphasis on medical treatment and supervision, and it may also provide palliative care.
Does Medicare pay for long-term care?
Medicare generally does not cover long-term care or assisted living. It primarily covers medical services such as short-term or skilled nursing care. Medicaid may help those who qualify under certain income and asset requirements. Contact us to discuss payment options.
