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.
Moving a senior loved one to a nursing home can be a difficult choice, so it’s worth considering other types of senior care available in Cedar Rapids. At an average monthly price of $1,353, adult day health care is the most affordable option. Families might also consider hiring either a home care or home health care provider, which costs $5,148 per month, on average. Assisted living communities provide less restrictive residential care at an average monthly cost of $4,450, which is about $2,100-$3,000 less than nursing home care.Â
