no, not for custodial-only rehab. (no, not at all; Medicare Part A covers a limited amount of skilled nursing and rehab under a defined plan if medically necessary; often this occurs at a place called by some a nursing home)

Only for rehabilitation purposes, not for custodial care. The patient must "show progress."

Only short term, for rehabilitation. The patient must show progress. Long term nursing home care is covered by Medicaid for eligible persons.

Medicare will pay for nursing home care for a limited time and only for rehabilitation, and the patient must show progress. So, the home in this case is probably right.


You are on Medicare If you go into a nursing home can the nursing home take your house?

I don't believe that a nursing home has the legal authority to file property liens, altho I suppose they could get a judgment from court and then try to enforce it. Medicare will pay for nursing home care for, at most, a few weeks. After that, the bill becomes your responsibility unless you qualify for Medicaid. In the latter event, the State will file a property lien and/or estate claim to recover the cost of care.
