Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 or older who are receiving Social Security retirement benefits. There are specific eligibility requirements in order for a person to receive assistance from this program. Medicare covers some, but not all, of the services a person with Alzheimer's disease may require. Medicaid is a federal program for certain individuals and families with low incomes and resources, administered by each state, so eligibility and benefits vary from state to state. The program is typically administered by a state agency. Medicaid can cover all or a portion of nursing home costs. A person with Alzheimer's can qualify for long-term care only if he has minimal income and cash assets. Medicaid may be applied for by calling your state's Department of Human Services or Medicaid Assistance Program.
