Seniors in Cambridge pay a median rate of $13,155 for semiprivate nursing home rooms and $14,402 for private rooms each month.
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.
Nursing home care is the most expensive care option for seniors. Those who require less care can save money with assisted living, which usually costs around $6,336 less per month. Older adults who want to stay at home can save even more money. Home care typically costs $6,292, and home health care runs around $6,244. The most affordable option is adult day health care at $1,614 per month.
