The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Woodland, CA for 2024

Woodland, CA, known as The City of Trees, is home to about 61,400 residents, of whom 13.4% are aged 65 years or older. Seniors here can find geriatric care at Woodland Memorial Hospital and Dignity Health Medical Foundation. A wide range of medical services is available less than 30 minutes away in Sacramento as well.

When older individuals can longer manage on their own or with help at home, nursing homes can provide the round-the-clock medical attention and supervision they need. In addition to room and board, these facilities typically feature skilled nurses and aides, therapies and social programming. Such amenities make nursing home care more expensive than other senior living arrangements. This is especially so in Woodland. The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey estimates that a semiprivate room in a nursing home in this city carries an average monthly cost of $10,463, compared to the national average monthly cost of $7,908. Seniors who do not require a high level of continual care may find home health care or assisted living to be more suitable and affordable options.

This guide details the costs of different senior care accommodations in Woodland and compares costs across the state. It also describes some local resources for the city’s elders and their families.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Woodland, CA

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.
