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.
Skilled nursing is not the right choice for every senior, and depending on their needs, other levels of care may be more appropriate. In Skokie, most senior care options are less expensive than nursing home care. Home health and home care average $5,625 a month, while assisted living costs average $5,250. Adult day health care costs average $1,801 a month. Private rooms in Skokie’s nursing homes average $9,482 a month.
