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.
A nursing home is one of several senior care options available in Ithaca. Depending on budgetary constraints and the level of care needed, a senior might choose to receive care in a nursing home, an assisted living facility or at home. Seniors wanting to save money and needing minimal care might choose adult day health care, which averages only $1,625 per month. Home care and home health care, both at $6,101 per month, provide greater care but allow seniors to remain at home. An assisted living facility averages $8,075 monthly, while nursing homes are the most expensive option at $9,885 for a semiprivate room and $10,190 for a private room.
