Siler City is Chatham County’s largest town, with a population of 8,225, many of whom are elders. Over 16% of the city’s residents are seniors 65 years of age and older. This artistic town is home to Chatham Hospital, which is part of the UNC Health Care network and a provider of cardiological care and rehabilitation services, among other offerings. The Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey rates nursing home care in Siler City as slightly less expensive than average: A semi-private room there costs $7,604 per month, compared to the corresponding national rate of $7,756.
Nursing homes, with 24-hour staffing and medical professionals like nurses on hand, are designed for individuals who can’t receive around-the-clock care at home but don’t need hospitalization. Their high service levels mean that their rates are high compared to other senior care options as well. For seniors whose capabilities make them feasible, assisted living or home health care may be a better—and cheaper—fit.
This guide’s next sections take comparative looks at the prices of nursing home care and other arrangements. The guide closes with helpful Siler City–area resources for seniors.
