Many states have programs and waivers meant to help alleviate assisted living housing fees.
Medicare insurance was designed to handle short term health care costs for retired adults. Assisted living expenses tend to be long run and ongoing care that is going to fall beyond the borders of Medicare insurance coverage.

Medicare can help with short-term or primary costs at an assisted living facility if the relocation is necessary resulting from a health issue.
