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.
Other types of care are much less expensive than nursing care in Port Jefferson. Seniors considering assisted living can save over $10,000. Adult day health care is potentially the most affordable option at just $1,619 monthly, but in-home care and home health care are also relatively inexpensive at $5,339. As home health care can offer similar services to nursing care, it may be an ideal alternative for individuals who require skilled nursing but are strong enough to continue living at home with support.
