Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Palm Beach Gardens, 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.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Nursing homes in Palm Beach Gardens typically charge $8,341 for medical care and a semiprivate room, adding another $1,027 per month to the fee for a private one. Seniors who don’t need such intensive care may find the average $4,399 costs of assisted living a better option or the $4,242 typical fee for basic medical care at home. Alternatively, seniors who don’t need medical care can get home care services for $4,147 or visit an adult day care center for around $1,517 per month.

Seniors in Palm Beach Gardens have access to a wealth of resources aimed at helping them age with dignity. This short list includes examples of the support available for those within nursing homes and seniors still able to live at home with some help.

ResourceContactService
Long-Term Care Ombudsman(888) 831-0404The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a state-sponsored program dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors in residential care communities. Ombudsmen are volunteers who regularly visit facilities to ensure their residents are fully aware of their rights and to investigate complaints made by them, their families and third parties. Ombudsmen can also furnish families with copies of inspection reports, enabling them to make better-informed decisions regarding nursing home care.
Area Agency on Aging Palm Beach/Treasure Coast(866) 684-5885This agency focuses primarily on aging-in-place services that can help seniors remain at home or within the community for as long as possible. However, it can also assist seniors and families while they prepare for nursing home care. This free support includes transportation for medical appointments, legal advice from attorneys experienced in elder law and training for unpaid caregivers, including temporary respite care services.
Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches, Inc.(561) 802-6979Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that delivers freshly-prepared and healthy meals to seniors in Palm Beach Gardens who are unable to get cooked food in any other way. The cost per meal is $7, although this can be reduced depending on the senior's financial situation. All meals include protein, fresh vegetables, a dessert and a slice of bread and butter and are delivered Mondays to Fridays. The program also delivers free donated pet food and makes wellness checks during visits.
Palm Beach County Senior and Veterans Services(561) 355-4750Palm Beach County operates many programs designed to aid seniors and veterans in the community. Although some may be beyond seniors nearing the stage of nursing home care, others are suitable, such as the free tax aide program in conjunction with AARP and a mobile library that delivers books and language CDs. For veterans, in addition to helping them claim state and federal benefits, the program can refer them to the West Palm Beach Medical Center, where services include advanced care planning, a service that involves seniors and their families developing long-term care plans with medical professionals.
