Coatesville, Pennsylvania, is a small city less than 40 miles west of Philadelphia, where a tenth of its over 13,000 residents are older adults aged 65 and over. Despite being a small community, Coatesville has a couple of hospitals within city limits, such as The Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Brandywine Hospital. Seniors may also be interested to know that the Chester County Hospital is less than half an hour’s drive from the city.
Nursing homes are facilities where frail seniors receive intensive care with staff trained to assist with daily living tasks such as bathing and provide around-the-clock medical monitoring. In Coatesville, nursing home care costs an average of $11,224 per month, according to data from Genworth’s Cost of Care 2020 Survey. As skilled nursing facilities are the most expensive type of senior care, other options for older adults who don’t need 24/7 supervision include home care providers and assisted living facilities.

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.
