Nursing Home Communities in Bellevue, Washington

Aptly named Bellevue is a well-connected city located on Puget Sound’s scenic Eastside, which offers beautiful views of the Seattle skyline and the Cascade Mountains. Nursing home residents in the local area are part of a community that’s nearly 150,000 strong. In fact, the city has more than 20,500 senior citizens, representing 14% of the population. While the cost of living is well above average, health care is more affordable than usual, and the area has several highly rated hospitals.

Nursing homes in Bellevue charge slightly more than the state median, but rates are typical for other cities in the region. These services are suitable for adults who require 24-hour medical monitoring and specialized rehabilitative services. Seniors who are active and enjoy a varied daily schedule may be more comfortable moving to an assisted living facility or hiring a home health care agency instead, which can provide considerable savings.

This guide includes information about Bellevue nursing homes, including average prices and details about alternatives. You’ll also find a directory of long-term care resources that can help along the way.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Bellevue, Washington

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.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Home health aide or skilled nursing in Bellevue costs about 60% more than other forms of long-term care. Assisted living costs $6,750 per month, and homemaker services cost approximately $6,670. Nursing homes cost about five times more than adult day health care. The average cost of these recreational programs is $2,027 per month. Due to the high cost, nursing homes are typically a last resort for individuals who are unable to live safely at home or in a residential facility.
