Paying for Care
Medicare.gov

Paying for Care — Long-Term Care Funding Options
How people pay for long-term care depends on their financial situation and the type of care they need. Many families rely on a combination of personal funds, government programs, and private financing options. This overview from the National Institute on Aging is one of the clearest summaries available.
