What's Covered. There are two different types of inpatient nursing and rehabilitation care that Medicare Part A covers, each under a different set of rules and limitations. A patient's stay must begin within 30 days of an inpatient hospital stay of at least three days. The patient must need, and have a physician's prescription for, daily skilled nursing care or physical rehabilitation. Care must be in a Medicare-certified skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility.
Seniors and Medicaid. Since Medicare does not cover long-term nursing home care, many seniors depend on Medicaid. In fact, Medicaid picks up the tab for about 42 percent of aggregate nursing home costs. However, seniors must meet income and asset requirements, which vary by state.eniors and Medicaid.
