Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Huntington, WV
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
Huntington seniors who aren’t sure if a nursing home community is right for them might want to compare the costs with other types of care. In-home care and home health care are the cheapest options in Huntington, both averaging $3,670, but the level of care is far less intensive than a nursing facility offers. Assisted living is slightly higher at $4,875 per month, but it offers a place to live with caregivers on staff. Nursing homes are the most expensive but also the most comprehensive option in terms of care. Seniors who want a private room will pay even more, the average cost being $8,669 per month.
