Nursing home care is for seniors who need around-the-clock medical support and monitoring in a hospital-like environment. This long-term care option includes individualized services, such as personal care, medication administration and disease management, along with daily meals and recreational activities. It’s ideal for older adults who don’t require hospitalization but need a long-term care alternative that offers skilled services beyond what’s available in less intensive settings. For those who only need personal care or short-term basic skilled nursing services, home care or assisted living may be preferable.
This guide provides more information on nursing homes in DeSoto, including an overview of financial assistance options and benefits.

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
