Medicare generally does not cover the cost of assisted living facilities. Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) may cover a short-term stay in a skilled nursing facility if certain conditions are met, but it does not cover long-term care in assisted living facilities. However, there are some services that Medicare may cover while you are in an assisted living facility. These services include skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services if they are deemed medically necessary. It's important to note that these services must be provided by a Medicare-certified provider and ordered by a doctor. Additionally, Medicare Part B (medical insurance) may cover certain durable medical equipment and supplies that are necessary for your care in an assisted living facility. It's always a good idea to check with Medicare or your healthcare provider to get specific information about what services and supplies may be covered in your situation.
