Does Medicare pay for any home health aides?

70 yr old disabled uncle looking to stay home, but needs help in the am and pm. He has finances, but does Medicare pay for anything?

Try Medicaid (or Medi-Cal if he lives in California).
He can't have over $2000. in assets (money in the bank).

Jen, sorry but Medicare does not pay for home health aides. Medicare does pay for at home physical therapy, and speech therapy.
