Medicare does not pay the largest part of long-term care services or personal care—such as help with bathing, or for supervision often called custodial care
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Care
Medicare covers up to 100 days of care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for each benefit period if all of Medicare's requirements are met, including your need of daily skilled nursing care with 3 days of prior hospitalization.
Medicare pays 100% of the first 20 days of a covered SNF stay. A copayment of $157.50 per day (in 2015 ) is required for days 21-100 if Medicare approves your stay.
