Yes, Medicaid frequently pays a portion of the bill for nursing home residents who have spent almost all their savings and whose monthly income does not cover the cost of care. Medicaid pays the difference between an individual's income and the cost of nursing home care.

Right now Medicaid is the only national program available to help pay for long-term care; Medicaid is the main source of payment for nursing homes.
