Nursing Home Costs in Columbus, OH
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.
Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Columbus, OH
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.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
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.
