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.
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 care can be a deciding factor when exploring long-term care options. In Lakewood, seniors can expect to pay $5,720 per month for in-home care, including health aide services. These services cost about $3,794 less than a semiprivate room. Adult day health care is $7,439 less than nursing home care. A semiprivate room costs about 86% more than the average cost of care in an assisted living facility. Additionally, a private room costs $1,075 more than a semiprivate room, which is $10,139 per month.
