Does Medicare or Social Security pay for Assisted Living or Nursing Home Care?

0

No. Medicare generally pays for hospital visits for acute/sudden health problems, and visits to physician’s offices or a nurse practitioner. Social Security is usually used for permanent disability situations. Medicaid, which is for low-income individuals can be applied for if there are no other funds to pay for nursing home care. A social worker usually handles this application.
