Medicaid covers medical benefits for low income citizens with few assets. There is no rule that requires Medicaid to pay for assisted living. Many states will allow partial payment but not room and board. Over 40 states permit some type of funding for assisted living but it varies greatly.
Nursing homes are paid for almost entirely by public funds. In Georgia, 73 percent of skilled nursing facility revenue is Medicaid alone, he says. In addition, Medicare pays for the first 90 days of skilled nursing care, but it never pays for assisted living. Assisted living, in contrast, is almost always paid for entirely or almost entirely by the residents themselves.
