Assisted living gives an individual support in areas that nursing home care and unsupported private living lacks. There are groups of people who want to care for their loved ones but cannot afford the very costly rates of nursing homes. They often choose to get Medicaid assisted living services which can give private or semi-private living facilities for individuals who are capable of taking care of their self to a certain extent. Medicaid assisted living qualified individuals can usually eat on their own, clothe themselves and perform basic grooming unsupervised.

There are Medicaid assisted living programs in a good number of states that can provide assistance for people who require assisted living services.  Since it is a less costly alternative to nursing home care, some states consider assisted living services even though it is not under essential Medicaid assistance coverage. There are now other states that are looking into extending their Medicaid coverage to include assisted living services.
