The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Raytown, MO for 2024

Situated in the heart of Jackson County, Raytown, MO, is a Kansas City suburb with 29,312 residents. Its senior population, which consists of 5,334 adults aged 65 and over, has access to 13 hospitals in the county, including the University Health Lakewood Medical Center and the Research Medical Center. The area offers several financial benefits to elders living in nursing homes, including rates well below the national median at $6,464 per month and state-run programs that can help cover costs for care and personal expenses.

Older adults who need skilled nursing services 24/7 for chronic and acute medical conditions are good candidates for nursing home care. These fully equipped facilities can handle the unique needs of non ambulatory seniors and those who rely on oxygen or complex medical equipment. Individuals who only require limited nursing services and help with personal care may find assisted living and home care options more suited to their needs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Raytown, MO

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost-of-living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
