By GeriCareFinder | Published: October 28, 2010

Retirees and the elderly often wonder how long does Medicare pay for nursing home care as they plan for the future. Medicare benefits for nursing home care are only available under very limited conditions. Elderly Medicare patients looking to receive payment for skilled nursing or rehabilitation services will find that coverage time is very limited and requires fulfillment of many Medicare-specified conditions. Unfortunately, limited Medicare coverage for skilled nursing home care means that many seniors are forced to pay for their nursing home costs out of their own funding. The stress of figuring out the ins-and-outs of Medicare coverage for nursing home care can be difficult and confusing for families but there are many resources that can help seniors and their families discover the best monetary and nursing care options for their lives and health concerns.
