Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program with specific coverage rules. Long-term custodial care is different from covered medical services, so confirm benefits with Medicare or a qualified advisor.
What to consider
Start with the person’s needs, preferences, location, budget and timing. Ask providers for current details and compare the same questions across options.
Questions to ask
- What services are included?
- What additional fees can apply?
- How are care needs assessed?
- What staffing and support are available?
- How often are prices, services and policies updated?
