Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Reno, NV

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.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Around 70% of seniors need some type of long-term care, with many having to transition from one type to another. Costs for each can vary greatly. For example, basic care in an assisted living community costs $3,750, while similar care delivered at home is $5,339, with another $143 per month needed for medical support. Adult day care centers provide the most affordable option, typically costing $1,506 in Reno. The higher levels of care provided in nursing homes are reflected in semiprivate rooms costing $9,095 and private ones $10,920.

Free Resources for Seniors in Reno, NV

The following resources can help Reno’s seniors and their families access free support from professionals. They have extensive knowledge of how to resolve disputes with care providers, get financial assistance to cover some care costs and plan for a future that involves long-term care support. 

ResourceContactService
Long-Term Care Ombudsman(888) 282-1155Seniors in nursing homes, and their families, who have issues about the quality of their care, can contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, who will investigate their complaints and represent them in discussions with the care providers. The ombudsman's support is free of charge. Additional services include ensuring seniors understand the rights they have and supplying families comparing nursing homes with inspection reports, enabling them to make better-informed decisions.
Home & Community Based Services Waiver(775) 687-4210The Home & Community Based Services Waiver is a Medicaid program designed to help seniors in need of regular medical care remain in their homes for as long as possible. Support can come in many forms, such as frequent visits from professional caregivers who will cook seniors' meals, collect their shopping and do some light housekeeping and laundry services. To be eligible, the senior must be at risk of moving into a nursing home and have an annual income on or below the program's limits.
Senior Rx Program(866) 303-6323Low-income seniors eligible for Medicare, but not Medicaid, may qualify for the Senior Rx Program. Funded by the State of Nevada, the program provides a subsidy of up to $37 per month towards Medicare Part D or Advantage premiums, reducing seniors' costs for pharmaceuticals. To qualify, applicants must be at least 62 years of age, already enrolled in an appropriate Medicare plan and have an income (as of 2021) of no more than $30,984 for an individual and $41,302 for a couple.
Nevada Care Connection(877) 861-1893Nevada Care Connection assists adults aged 60 and over and their families. Trained staff can help them identify all the options available in regards to short and long-term care, in addition to helping them apply. Assistance typically involves considering Medicare and Medicaid but also covers getting support for the caregiver, including respite care, and planning for the short and long terms. A case manager may also be assigned if the senior is cognitively impaired.
