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.
Before deciding what sort of care facility to move into, it’s worth comparing the prices of each type of care. Home care services deliver personal care support in a senior’s house a median of $5,720 per month, and home health care services charge similar fees. Daytime-only care in a group setting is the most affordable, averaging $1,782 per month. Personal care assistance at an assisted living facility typically costs $6,100 for room and board, plus ongoing support. This is less than half the cost of skilled nursing care.
