   Medicare is very limited for any type of long term care, including the home.  Medicare does not pay for custodial care.  It will pay for some temporary skilled care in your home if you need some type of rehab services such as occupational, speech, or physical therapy.  It may also pay for some durable medical equipment.  Do not rely on Medicare as a source for any extended home health care.
