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.
The following resources include support to help seniors delay the need for nursing homes and remain at their residences longer. Nursing home residents can also find services to improve their quality of life.

More than a meal service, the Elderly Nutritional Program also provides wellness checks and social interactions for seniors, helping them delay nursing home care and stay home instead. |
| Traditional Legal Assistance Program | (323) 939-0506 | Seniors aged 60 or over with economic or social needs can get free legal aid through this program.

| Family Caregiver Support Program | (800) 510-2020 | This program helps seniors aged 60 or over remain at home and delay the need for nursing home care by providing support to their at-home caregivers.

The Respite Care program gives caregivers a rest by offering temporary in-home care, including medication management, meal preparation and assistance with bathing and grooming. |
| Long Term Care Ombudsman Program | (800) 510-2020 | The more than 60 volunteer staff in this program are certified by the California state government to act as advocates for older adults in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in Los Angeles County.
