Nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled nursing supervision and are ideal for seniors who require around-the-clock care. Typical care services include frequent wellness checks, medication management and assistance with activities of daily living. Due to the higher level of care required, nursing home costs tend to be higher than other senior living options. To avoid these higher costs, seniors may want to consider alternative options, such as assisted living or home health care services.

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 any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
