Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Palatine, IL

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Budget, care needs and living preferences are all factors that come into play when selecting the best type of long-term care. Seniors who are still largely self-sufficient may find adult day care to provide an adequate level of assistance, and at $1,842 per month, it's over $5,100 less than nursing care on average. Assisted living facilities are also less expensive than nursing homes at $4,825, though the care isn't as medically focused. For those who wish to age in place, in-home care is available in Palatine for $1,324 less than seniors would pay for nursing home care, as is home health care, which sees costs that are approximately 18.2% lower.

Review of Aperion Care Plum Grove

My sister is in Aperion Care Plum Grove. I think the experience isn't a good one if you don't have a lot of money to spend, because then you're only going to have access to the lower level...
