Your Questions Answered: Does Medicare Pay for Nursing Home Costs?

We recently completed a retirement planning engagement with some new clients. As part of the planning process, we modeled what their cash flow might look like in the event one or both needed assisted living or nursing home care.

The husband asked me, “Doesn’t Medicare pay for a nursing home?”.

The answer to that is, “No.”
