Does you mother have a long-term care insurance policy?  If she does, odds are she is covered, depending on the actual policy wording.  Having said that, the answer to your question is no.  Social Security may help pay for nursing home care, but there are no special provisions.  Medicaid is the number one payer of long-term care insurance.  Depending on your mothers' assets, Medicaid is probably a good option.  You can contact your local Medicaid board to begin qualifying.  Note that there are income and asset requriements that must be met.
