Can Medicaid help pay for long-term care?
Often yes, if the person qualifies. Medicaid is a state and federal program. Each state has its own rules and names for long-term care help.
In our launch states, families usually start with the Elder Helpline or Area Agency on Aging (Florida), Community HealthChoices through the Independent Enrollment Broker (Pennsylvania), PASSPORT through the Ohio Department of Aging or your local AAA (Ohio), or your county DSS and Area Agency on Aging (North Carolina). Rules and wait lists change — check with your local agency.
