The average monthly cost at a nursing home in Charleston is $7,330 for a semiprivate room and $7,893 for a private room.
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.
It’s equally important for seniors and their family members to compare the average costs for various types of senior care when determining which options are right for them. For example, it’s good to know that costs for nursing home (semiprivate) services of $7,330 are more than twice as expensive as assisted living costs of $3,600 per month. Additionally, assisted living costs ($3,600) in Charleston are, on average, less expensive than home care ($4,767) and home health care services ($4,767).
