   Medicare is very limited on what it will pay for home care or any other type of long term care.  Medicare will only pay for skilled care after a hospitalization of three days not counting day of admission.  It will pay for an Occupational or Speech Therapist, a nurse, and other very limited services in the home on a very temporary basis.  Do not rely on Medicare for your Long Term Care needs.
