Does Medicare Part B Cover Assisted Living?

63333 POINTSview profilePeggy MaceMost of the U.S.No, Medicare Part B does not cover the residential cost of assisted living. Once you enter an assisted living residence, your Medicare Part B will still cover what it did before: medical equipment, outpatient doctor visits, etc. But, unfortunately, neither Medicare Part A or B will cover the costs of living in an assisted living facility.Answered on October 17, 2013flag this answer

Nursing Home benefits are limited to 100 days maximum and can only be accessed if you need skilled care after a hospital stay of three days, not counting day of discharge. The care must be required for the same reason the person was hospitalized and the person must be capable of improving with therapy.Answered on October 18, 2013flag this answer
