We were told that medicare would only pay for 20 days. We are looking into hospice and it looks like they are going to help out at home. Hi Nicole, I have not looked at medicare.gov but I will.

On the left hand side menu there's a section for long term care. It looks like it may be a good place to start. Forgive my prying, but you said he has a terminal illness? Have you looked in to hospice care? I work with hospice frequently in my professional life (I'm a geriatric pharmacist), and they are a great source of support and assistance, in home or in an assisted living facility. Good luck. This is a large decision to make for your family. Have you looked at Medicare.gov yet? On the left hand side menu there’s a section for long term care. It looks like it may be a good place to start.
