Doesn't Medicare pay for my loved one's nursing home care?

Medicare will pay for skilled care in a facility if Medicare guidelines are met.  This is short-term care with a skilled service such as physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy or other certified skilled care service.  Beneficiaries have a limited number of days of skilled care available.  Medicare also covers hospice care when guidelines are met.  Medicare will NOT pay for long term custodial care.
