Breaking down medicare nursing home coverage in Clinton Township
Medicare is not a long-term-care program, and this is the single biggest cost misunderstanding families have. Medicare Part A covers skilled nursing only for short-term rehab after a qualifying three-day inpatient hospital stay — up to 100 days, with a daily co-pay after day 20 — and stops once a patient stops improving. Long-term custodial care is private-pay or Medicaid.
