    No, Medicare was never intended to be used for long term care.  Medicare has very limited benefits when it comes to nursing home care and no benefits for assisted living.  If you need help with assisted living and are being told by Medicaid that you have too many assets, a good care resource planner or elder law attorney may be able to help you preserve some of your assets and get you the help you need sooner.
