Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Jupiter, FL

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.

Area Agency on Aging Palm Beach/Treasure Coast(866) 684-5885At the AAA Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Jupiter's older adults can learn about and apply for a variety of programs that may help them age comfortably and independently at home. Home-delivered meals, in-home care, transportation and home accessibility modifications are a few of the services administered by the agency. The AAA also provides screening for the State Medicaid Managed Care program, which enables seniors to avoid moving into a nursing home by receiving care in their homes or in an assisted living community. 

Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(850) 414-2323The purpose of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is to ensure residents of senior care facilities receive an appropriate quality of care and are treated with dignity and respect. Ombudsmen can help seniors learn about nursing facilities' citation histories, and if they ever have a complaint while they're residents, ombudsmen will investigate and seek to resolve the matter to the senior's benefit.

Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly(561) 570-2485Through Palm Beach PACE, Jupiter's nursing home-eligible seniors can bypass institutionalized care and receive the assistance they need through community-based care. Depending on needs, program participants can receive transportation services, medication management, primary and specialty medical care as well as in-home care. Services are free for seniors who qualify for Medicaid.

Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders(866) 684-5885The SHINE program offers free insurance counseling to seniors. Its volunteers can help seniors apply for Medicare and Medicaid as well as advise them on which plans best meet their needs.
