Seniors who opt for care in a skilled nursing home community typically have an option of either a semi-private or private room. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the Columbus average monthly cost for a semi-private room is $6,996, while a private room is $8,213.
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.
Seniors in Columbus have other options besides a skilled nursing care home. Homemaker services help seniors with limited mobility complete household chores, including meal preparation, accompany seniors on shopping trips, and provide general companionship, while home health aides are certified medical professionals that administer light medical care in a recipient’s house. The cost of both of these services is $4,576 per month in Columbus. Adult Day Care, at $1,625 per month, is an alternative for seniors who live with families unable to provide 24-7 care, while assisted living gives residents help with daily living and companionship in a long-term care community for $4,500 monthly.
