Sterling Heights is a suburb located about 25 miles north of the Detroit metropolis. Seniors living in this area can take advantage of the easy access to big-city amenities and plenty of health care resources, including Henry Ford Medical Center.
Nursing home care is usually reserved for seniors who are no longer able to live alone safely, such as if they are unable to feed, clothe or bathe themselves or complete other activities of daily living. For seniors who just need some extra help and supervision but don’t require around-the-clock care, home health care or assisted living may be options. Nursing home care in Sterling Heights costs $8,821 per month for a semiprivate room, which is a little lower than the statewide average but higher than the national median, meaning seniors in Sterling Heights may want to consider these other options.
This guide covers the cost of nursing home care and other types of care in Sterling Heights. It also provides a list of resources seniors may be able to use to stay in their own homes longer.

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.
Seniors in Sterling Heights who are trying to delay the need for full nursing care may be able to take advantage of the following community resources.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Area Agency on Aging 1-B | (800) 852-7795 | The Sterling Heights area is served by the local Area Agency on Aging, which provides several services and resources for local seniors. It offers help with understanding Medicare and Medicaid benefits, as well as services, such as in-home care and transportation for seniors. It's also the home of the local Long-Term Care Ombudsman. |
| Meals on Wheels | (586) 469-5228 | Meals on Wheels is a nutrition service for seniors who aren't able to get out for meals or grocery shopping. Macomb County Volunteers deliver the meals and can also do well-checks during drop-offs.
