A rapidly aging loved one can be the cause of much stress and anxiety in our otherwise under control existences. Aside from the decisions as to what type of care to pursue and where, there is always the question of funding. Assisted living and skilled nursing facilities are exorbitantly priced, and the cost is very often beyond the means average family, even those living the American dream.
Fortunately, there are options, and Pennsylvania Medicaid is a safety net that close to 60 million Americans rely on. Unfortunately, the PA Medicaid application process is as confounding as it is elongated, and many Medicaid Pennsylvania applicants and their families get lost trying to navigate Medicaid’s mirage of guidelines.

Understanding PA Medicaid
Medicaid is a federal and state funded program for individuals requiring health care. A large portion of Medicaid funds the health care of children and pregnant women while the remaining portion covers the care of the elderly and disabled. While the federal government foots a sizable part of the budget, each state will foot the remaining 40% of the bill and will instate individual state guidelines as to eligibility and coverage. Quaker state citizens can expect excellent PA Medicaid coverage as they navigate the many long-term care options available to them.
