The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Longview, TX for 2024

Longview has a population of 81,631 people, 14.7% of whom are senior citizens. There is a robust array of high-quality health care options in the area, including the Longview Regional Medical Center, which is rated high-performing in the treatment of COPD by U.S. News.

According to Genworth’s 2020 Cost of Care Survey, a semiprivate room in a Longview nursing home costs an average of $4,091 per month, and a private room is a little more expensive at $5,323.

Nursing homes are designed for seniors who need high levels of supervision and medical assistance around the clock. They generally have skilled nurses and highly trained aides available 24/7 to help with medication, personal care and mobility. As such, nursing home care tends to be more expensive than other types of care. However, seniors who don’t require the level of care that nursing homes provide may be able to save money by looking for assisted living or home health care options that fit their care needs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Longview, Texas

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.
