A semiprivate room in a nursing home in Brandon typically costs $9,946 per month, with a private room costing around $11,391.
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.
Fees for senior care types generally reflect the costs of the provider and the level of support provided, but not always. In Brandon, assisted living, which provides accommodation and limited care, costs an average of $3,225. This is significantly less than home care’s average fees of $4,195 and home health care’s $4,576. Adult day care is the least costly at $1,993, while nursing homes charge the highest fees, typically in the region of $9,946 for a semiprivate room and another $1,445 per month for a private one.
