Medicare didn't cover a lot of the at home expenses for my mum when she got sick (e.g. such as nurse that would come by and visit her three times a week to dose meds, etc). I don't know if they've changed the policies since this happened (1998), but I thought it odd, since at home care was a lot cheaper than assisted living facilities.
I seem to remember some talk of changes in at-home care policy. One of the few good things that got done under the Bush administration, I think. I could be talking out my ass of course.
