Nursing home care offers skilled nursing services for seniors who require full-time medical supervision and assistance. This level of care is best suited to seniors with chronic illness and those who are extremely frail. Nursing home care is generally the most expensive care option, and according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of nursing home care in Oswego is $8,076, which is higher than the national average of $7,756. Seniors who don’t require this level of care may want to look at alternative options such as home care and assisted living.
This guide looks at the costs of nursing home care and alternative options and lists a few helpful resources.
