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.
While nursing home care is suitable for those who need 24-hour nursing, seniors who need a lesser degree of care may save money by choosing another option. Assisted living facilities, which may administer or contract with a third party to provide short-term or intermittent skilled nursing services, are considerably cheaper at $4,500 monthly. For seniors who prefer to live at home, home health care, which includes some skilled nursing services along with personal care and housekeeping, is also relatively affordable at $4,767 per month. Home care features personal care in the senior’s home for $4,576 per month, and adult day services are the most affordable option at $1,625 per month.
