A rapidly aging loved one can cause significant stress and anxiety when further care is needed. Aside from the decisions about 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 very often exceeds the means of the average family, even those living the American dream.
Fortunately, there are options, and Pennsylvania Medicaid for the elderly serves as a safety net for nearly 60 million Americans. Unfortunately, the long-term care application process for PA Medicaid is confusing and lengthy, and many applicants and their families get lost trying to navigate Medicaid’s maze of guidelines.

Understanding Medicaid for Seniors in Pennsylvania
Medicaid is a federally 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. The federal government foots a sizable part of the budget, and each state foots the remaining 40% of the bill. There are individual state guidelines on eligibility and coverage. Quaker State citizens have several excellent long-term care options through Pennsylvania Medicaid available to them.
