Nursing homes in Jackson charge approximately $6,388 for shared rooms. Private accommodations are several hundred dollars higher at $6,844.
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.
While nursing home rates in Jackson are generally affordable at $6,388 for shared rooms and $6,844 for private, this is the most expensive type of care in the city. Older adults who need limited skilled nursing services may obtain that care at home through home health care, which costs $3,432 per month. Home care, which is also provided in the individual’s home, doesn’t include skilled nursing and has the same monthly rate of $3,432. Assisted living facilities provide personal care, meals and, in some cases, limited skilled nursing services for $4,348. Adult day health care is the most inexpensive type of senior care at $1,083 monthly.
