Medicare primarily covers hospital care, doctor visits, and some prescription medications. However, it has limitations when it comes to extended home care, assisted living, or nursing facility costs. Recognizing what is and isn’t included ensures that seniors receive the support they need without financial strain.
Long-term care options vary widely, including in-home care, adult day programs, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. Each option offers different levels of support, from help with daily tasks to medical supervision. Understanding these differences helps families choose the best fit for their loved ones.
