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.
If family members are unsure about the decision to place a senior loved one into a nursing home, it might help to look into the rates for other available types of care in Lufkin.

Assisted living facilities offer residential care at a cost that’s $624 lower than the average price for a semiprivate room in a nursing home.
