The first is from private assets that are available to the resident and the second is Massachusetts Medicaid. Cedar View offers three different room options each with their own costs. For residents with Long Term Care Insurance check with your insurance provider to see what your policy covers, this will help offset the cost of nursing home care but will most likely not cover the full expense. Medicaid eligible residents are responsible for paying their income to Cedar View and Medicaid covers the rest of the expenses. Medicaid eligibility is different for community-based applications. Basic requirements for Medicaid eligibility in a long-term care facility are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical Requirements\n<ul>\n<li>Prior to admission potential resident must be evaluated to need 24\/7 care that is needed in order to meet criteria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Financial Requirements\n<ul>\n<li>Assets below two thousand dollars for single member household\n<ul>\n<li>Spouses are permitted to keep additional assets as established by Medicaid regulations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>No disqualifying transfers in the past five years.
