Medicare is health insurance. The only time they pay for a room and board situation is when you are hospitalized or in rehabilitation for a hospitalization.
As FF said they will pay for some therapies in home for a short amount of time and pretty minimal, maybe 2x weekly 1 hour sessions type thing.
Sorry, Medicare will not pay for Assisted Living nor for a caregiver. Medicaid [which is different from Medicare] will pay for room/board and care in a nursing home [which is different from Assisted Living].
Medicare will pay for certain types of therapies at home for a certain number of weeks.
