Not for assisted living, which is custodial care. Medicare paid for a daily visiting nurse, medications, a doctor, a walker, Ensure, Depends, a walker and wheelchair, a hospital bed, etc.
My mom was already in assisted living (which she paid for) for about a year and a half. She was too weak and had dementia, she could not live on her own in her large home. When her dementia really became a problem—delusional, falling, combative, not wanting to eat or take her meds—hospice care was brought in for additional care for her in assisted living.
Thanks for that info-—God bless her.
