   I have used Viva Medicare Plus for many years. I now find that this will NOT pay (should I need it) for Assisted Living nor Skilled Care at my retirement home: Galleria Woods in Hoover, Alabama. Therefore I MUST select another Medicare program which will cover theses.Any recommendations??

  I think the only plan to help pay for Assisted Living is a personal Long Term Care Policy.However, if you have Medicare and a Medi-Gap policy, you can get up to 100 Days of Skilled Nursing coverage.
