Nursing Home Care
 

You pay 100%.

Most nursing home care is custodial care. Generally, Medicare does not cover custodial care. Medicare Part A only covers skilled care given in a certified skilled nursing facility (SNF). You must meet certain conditions and coverage is limited. Please refer to the coverage information for Skilled Nursing Facility Care.
