title: Medicare and long-term care.
abstract: While Medicare coverage of long-term care services (nursing facility care and home health care) is not comprehensive, it can be an important source of coverage for Medicare beneficiaries who need skilled care. In this brief, we provide an overview of these benefits--including information about what services are covered, when they are covered, and how much your clients will pay for this care.
