Avoid animal purines: Avoid foods rich in animal purines. Examples include: beef, lamb, pork, and shellfish. Alcoholic beverages, especially beer and spirits (whiskey, vodka) are also high in purines. Some studies suggest moderate wine consumption is less likely to cause gout attacks.
Medicare will only cover up to 100 days in a skilled nursing facility though, and only if you meet some very specific criteria: 1  3-Day Hospital Stay: You must have been at a hospital For 3 days AND. 2  Level of Care: You must also need skilled nursing care 7 days a week, or skilled therapy services 5 days a week.
Health insurance doesnât cover as much as you may think. Studies show that health care plans and Medicare account for 3% of the cost of nursing home care. Medicare will only pay for nursing home costs on a limited basis: 100% for the first 20 days and a co-pay up to 100 days. Thatâs pretty much it. Medicaid can really help pick up the slack, but youâll have to prove financial necessity first.
