[quote=Anonymous]In my experience Medicare will cover skilled nursing not unskilled nursing. Skilled nursing is things like catheters, diabetic care (the dialysis you can do at home), etc. Medicare will cover a couple hours a week at home through one of the zillion providers out there. Also at home OT/PT -- I think twice a week. Unskilled nursing is not covered by Medicare. Unskilled is help with activities of daily living like bathing, eating, dressing, etc. Rehab places will provide both skilled/unskilled nursing covered of course like at the hospital. But if you still need unskilled after the stay AFAIK it is all private pay via home health aides or private pay assisted living places like Sunrise. It sucks but you might want to look at those assisted living places/finances.[/quote]
