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.
The national average cost of assisted living for one year is $50,000. But that figure varies greatly by location. For example, the monthly average cost of assisted living services in Boston is $6,500, but it is only $2,500 in Jackson, MI. The cost of assisted living also depends on level of care, facility and amenities, how much medical assistance is involved, and other factors.
