If you are in assisted living that does not accept Medicaid can you get your SS check to pay for part of the housing?

Can you still get your Social Security check (to pay for part of the housing) even if you are eligible for Medicaid?

Yes, as long as you can make up the difference.

specterm, yes, you will still get a Social Security check and it can be used for whatever you want, including helping to pay for housing in assisted living. Social Security benefits are completely separate from Medicaid.
