Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Long Beach, CA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Many factors influence senior care costs, including the type of services and the provider’s pricing policies. Adult day care centers offer the most affordable option, with costs averaging $1,647, followed by assisted living, at $5,000. Care at home is more costly, at $5,434, while $5,529 per month gets limited medical care, too. Nursing home costs are the most expensive due to the 24-hour intensive levels of care provided. Typically, a semiprivate room in Long Beach costs $8,060, while a private room is around $10,570.

Additionally, they can arrange for counseling to help caregivers cope with the stresses of their roles and respite services to give them free time to recharge their batteries. |

If a complaint alleges criminal behavior, such as neglect or elder abuse, the ombudsman will refer it to the appropriate authority. |
