Medicaid represents around 1/3 of all nursing home funding, through a combination of subsidized support for low income patients and other provisions. 63% of people in nursing homes have Medicaid as their primary payer.
Medicare doesn't cover unless you have ongoing problems requiring treatment (in other words, if you can't feed yourself, bathe yourself, or get off the pot without help, that doesn't count). It is meant to prioritize "get better" care...there is a limit to how long the benefit is triggered for.
