Medicare is a multi-part federal health insurance program managed by the federal government. A
person applies for Medicare through the Social Security Administration, but Medicare's rules are

"Medicare Carriers," that vary from state to state.

As they plan for the time when they may need long-term care, consumers are likely to face some difficult and uncomfortable questions. What would I do if I were no longer able to care for myself? Would someone in my family take care of me, or would I seek care elsewhere? And how would caregivers get paid?...
It’s a task that few of us look forward to: arranging for help to be there if, as senior citizens, we
are no longer able to care for ourselves. For 1.4 million seniors, that care comes in a nursing home
where most residents have their bills paid by the government through the Medicaid program. For
millions of others, that care comes from family members or paid providers, in homes or assisted living
facilities...
