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.
Rather than choosing a 24-hour skilled nursing facility, many seniors prefer to age in place at home or in an assisted living home where they can take advantage of nursing and personal care services. Frail seniors who require around-the-care but want as much privacy as possible can opt for a private room in a Wilmington nursing home for $7,908 per month, $730 more than a semiprivate room. An assisted living facility costs considerably less than a nursing home at $5,877, and hiring a home health aide at $4,185 per month is an even less expensive choice. The least expensive option is adult day care at 1,408 monthly, but that service may not be adequate for a senior in need of around-the-clock personal medical care.
