Seniors with chronic illnesses and disabilities that prevent them from performing activities of daily living comprise the majority of nursing home residents. Because of the severity of its residents’ conditions, nursing homes offer 24-hour emergency medical care, and many have both on-site physicians and registered nurses. Skilled nursing care, IV therapy, wound care and incontinence support are commonly provided. Seniors who don’t need such extensive access to care may find that assisted living or in-home care adequately meets their needs and saves money.
This guide overviews the costs of different types of care and resources that may help finance them.

Although the program doesn’t have an income requirement, seniors with incomes above a certain threshold are required to share the cost of services. |
