No; however, Medicaid pays for long term care. ANSWER: With reference to the seniors and elderly, medicaid does not pay for housing, but they do pay for long term care services if you are qualified. Normally, your income must be $2000 and below to be eligible for medicaid long term care benefits.
As of this year Medicaid no longer pays for eye glasses for adults..
Eye doctors treat people who have eye problems. Some treatments are more simple, such as prescribing corrective lenses. Eye doctors also treat patients who have more serious problems, such as cataracts or glaucoma. Medicaid eye doctors can treat indigent patients who cannot afford their own health care, and therefore receive Medicaid benefits. Medicaid does not pay for elective procedures, so a Medicaid doctor will not perform treatments such as LASIK surgery. You can ask various medical support groups for a referral to a qualified Medicaid eye doctor.
One does not need to be elderly in order to have Medicaid pay for your care in nursing homes. As long as one has been proved to be medically necessary, then one is qualified.

Medicaid policy varies because it is administered by the States; however, in general, Medicaid will furnish transportation to/from a source of medical care.
Medicaid is a "means tested" program - i.e., it is intended to be used only when the patient has no other resources available for care.
Medicaid is insurance through the state. Medicaid is taken care of during the time of need and cut off when not in need. Medicaid does not receive a pay back if inheritance is received. Other assistance programs, however, may require some sort of pay back.
Medicaid started because of the large number of indigent persons who were unable to pay for necessary medical care.
