What are ways to pay for a nursing home if someone is not eligible for Medicade?

Q: Medicade only pays for the first month, right? I know that a person’s personal resources pay for the home. What about Long term care insurance.

A: It’s spelled “Medicaid.” Information re: Medicaid can be found here:http://www.cms.hhs.gov/home/medicaid.aspBut the main part says this:Medicaid is available only to certain low-income individuals and families who fit into an eligibility group that is recognized by federal and state law. Medicaid does not pay money to you; instead, it sends payments directly to your health care providers. Depending on your state’s rules, you may also be asked to pay a small part of the cost (co-payment) for some medical services. (“Medicaid At-A-Glance 2005” may be downloaded from the bottom of the page.)Medicaid is a state administered program and each state sets its own guidelines regarding eligibility and services. Read more about your state Medicaid program. (See Related Links inside CMS at the bottom of the page.)So, check with your own state’s Medicaid program.But, I would venture to say, that “probably not.”
