The reality is that Medicare only covers nursing home costs for a very short period following a hospital stay to recuperate from an acute illness or injury.

The costs of expanding case management and community services were not offset by reductions in nursing home or other costs.
Nursing Home rates (SB 608) - Requires the state to use the most recent cost figures available each year to reimburse nursing homes for Medicaid expenses.
Those who were in residential and nursing care homes before the introduction of community care in 1993 were given preserved rights to special rates of income support to meet the costs of their care.

Other new funds to support CBHP will come from savings derived from reimbursement caps on administrative costs of nursing homes and some of the savings from expanding Medicaid managed care.
Nursing homes receive Medicaid reimbursement according to a prospective, adjusted cost-based methodology; rates are not case-mix adjusted.
Nursing home owners say liability insurance and health care costs are spiraling out of control because of multimillion dollar lawsuits filed by greedy lawyers.

A nursing home that costs $100 per day today will cost $290 per day in 20 years.
Assume nursing home costs today of $100 a day and 8% inflation, what will the cost per day be in 18 to 20 years?
Most nursing home residents, even if they pay privately when they enter a home, eventually run out of money because of the high costs.
