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 costly type of senior care in Kingston, with private accommodations commanding an additional $168 a month beyond the cost for a semiprivate room. The median costs for home care and home health care are identical at $4,385 a month, and although the local data wasn’t available, adult day health care is likely the most affordable type of senior care, using the New York median of $1,949 per month for comparison. Cost data for assisted living wasn’t available either, but the statewide average of $4,800 puts its cost between adult day health care and in-home care.
