Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Santa Rosa, 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

In most cities, adult day care is the least expensive option; however, Genworth’s study found no relevant data for Santa Rosa. Assisted living is the next best option cost-wise, carrying an average monthly charge of $6,000. Both home care and home health care are good options for seniors wanting to remain in their own homes, and both have an average monthly charge of $6,101. Nursing home care has a monthly average cost of $9,946 for a semiprivate room and $13,688 for a private room.

Transport is provided by volunteers who use their own vehicles to take seniors to medical appointments, social services and grocery stores. The Connection Program keeps homebound participants in contact with their communities. Through this program, trained volunteers make weekly phone calls to seniors who are home alone, making a wellness check while also providing a social connection.

The program delivers meals on a daily basis from Monday to Friday; a frozen meal pack is available for the weekends. Staff members deliver the meals and provide a safety check service at the same time. Special diets can be accommodated. There is a suggested donation per meal, but seniors who are unable to contribute are never turned away.

In addition, counselors can assist seniors in applying for financial assistance options when they need to move to nursing home care on a long- or short-term basis.
