Review of Crestview Court

My mom stayed at Crestview Court for three weeks. The facility was great. It's just the customer service that was bad. You went in, and everybody was always in a meeting. You can't get anything...

Review of Cedar Hill Healthcare Center

There is not enough staff to patient ratio. It appears to be a big turnover with staff. They use a lot of contract employees', that really seems like only interested in a check. The pictures...

Review of Crestview Court

My aunt is in Crestview Court. Her room is just a standard room. It's got double-sized hospital beds. Currently, she does not have a roommate, so she's got pretty much the entire room to herself....

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Cedar Hill, TX

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.

Adult day health care is the most affordable option at $1,571, although its services are limited.
