Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Collierville, Tennessee
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.
The median monthly cost of adult day health care in Collierville is $1,679, which makes it the city’s most affordable type of long-term care. Nursing homes are on the opposite end of the spectrum, with private rooms costing an average of $7,680 a month, which is more than double the cost of the average monthly price for home care and home health care. At 60.2% of the cost of a nursing home semiprivate room, assisted living is the second most costly type of care in Collierville.

Free Resources for Seniors in Collierville, Tennessee
The list below details several programs and resources that can help seniors either pay for nursing home care or receive care services in their homes to delay nursing home placement.
CHOICES is the program within Tennessee’s Medicaid system that covers long-term care services, including nursing facility care as well as several home and community-based services. To be eligible for CHOICES Group 1, which pays for nursing home costs, seniors must be at least 65 years of age, meet income guidelines and require a nursing facility level of care.
The Aging Commission of the Mid-South helps seniors and their families access a wide array of state and nonprofit resources to help older adults in Shelby County continue to live healthy, fulfilling lives. In-home services, home-delivered meals, nutrition counseling, personal emergency response systems and legal assistance are among the many programs and services managed by the agency.
TennCare Advocacy is a service provided by the Division of TennCare to help Tennessee residents understand and apply for the state’s Medicaid program. The service’s employees can assist seniors in determining if they qualify for TennCare, enrolling in the program and finding out how much of their nursing facility care the program will cover. The service also advises seniors on how to file an appeal if they were denied coverage.
Through the state-funded OPTIONS for Community Living program, seniors may be able to delay transitioning to a nursing home by taking advantage of the program’s homemaker services, personal care services and home-delivered meals. To qualify, seniors must be at least 60 years of age and need assistance with several activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. Although the program doesn’t have an income requirement, seniors with incomes above a certain threshold are required to share the cost of services.
