Medicare does not cover the long-term room and board costs of assisted living, which is considered non-medical custodial care. However, it may cover short-term skilled nursing or therapy services following a qualifying hospital stay. Texas families often use private funds, long-term care insurance, or programs like the STAR+PLUS Medicaid waiver to pay for care.
