Seniors who need long-term care should know that these services are not covered by Medicare, so they will need to either purchase long-term care insurance, pay out of pocket, or apply for Medicaid. In New York State, there are two different Medicaid programs: Community Medicaid, which covers care at home, such as a personal care aide, and Chronic Medicaid, which covers nursing home care. Both programs have income and resource limits for eligibility, but the rules are stricter for Chronic Medicaid, so it is essential to understand the difference.
