Medicaid on the other hand will pay for nursing home care only after an individual has spent nearly all his or her savings. The Administration on Aging notes "retirement accounts such as 401(k)s do not yield enough money to pay for assisted living services, which often are needed for many years and can run into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars."   Long term care is a difficult topic to understand. For many it is also a painful subject that most would prefer not to think about, either for their parents or themselves.         Return to Top
