The quiet borough of Hanover houses about 17,000 people, a fifth of whom are seniors, in the south-central region of Pennsylvania. It features UPMC Hanover, a full-service acute care hospital that provides a range of inpatient, outpatient and emergency services, as well as agencies and programs that provide age-related services.
There are also several nursing homes in Hanover and close by. These facilities provide housing and care for older adults with extensive medical needs. They’re staffed with physicians, nurses and certified aides who administer individualized personal care and skilled nursing services, and they offer daily meals, housekeeping and laundry services and recreational activities. On average, nursing homes in Hanover charge a starting monthly rate of $11,315, which is hundreds of dollars over the state average and thousands more than the national norm. Fortunately, seniors who don’t require 24-hour services may be good candidates for affordable alternatives, such as assisted living or home care.
This guide provides more information on how local nursing home rates compare to costs for other senior care options in the city. It also lists some of the most helpful resources for seniors in the Hanover region and highlights ways to cover monthly fees.Â

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
