Can Medicare pay if my father-in-law has Parkinson and my has mother in-law has COPD?

They live alone, we do what we can

EXPERT Carol Bradley Bursack, CDSGF Dec 2011
Medicare is likely paying for their health insurance. If you are looking at a nursing home, they will probably have to pay the costs themselves until their assets are nearly gone. Then you will help them with the paperwork to qualify them for Medicaid. If they have very little money, they may qualify now. You can find out through social services.
