    Under Medicare any type of Home Health Care is limited. They will provide some skilled care on a temporary basis but Medicare generally will not pay for custodial care in any long term care environment.  That is why it is important to carry some type of Long Term Care Insurance that will provide Home Health Care.  Some policies even pay family members for providing care.  A good agent who does long term care planning can help you find a program that will help.
