Many families use a combination of Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and personal savings to cover these costs.

Question 4

Does Minnesota have a Medicaid program for nursing home care?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minnesota's Medical Assistance covers nursing home care and funds a robust network of home and community-based waiver programs, including the Elderly Waiver (EW) and Alternative Care program. Medicare covers skilled nursing facility care for up to 100 days following a qualifying 3-day hospital stay, but does not cover custodial or assisted living care. To learn whether a specific facility accepts Medical Assistance (MA), contact them directly or look for the Medicaid badge on their listing page.
