The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Garden Grove, CA for 2024

Garden Grove is a small city in the north of sunny Orange County that’s located just 33 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. It has a population of 170,488, 14.1% of whom are seniors aged 65 and older. Residents have access to a variety of high-quality medical facilities, including the Garden Grove Hospital Medical Center, which features geriatric care programs. Another hospital of note is the St. Joseph Hospital Orange, which features top-quality cancer programs. In Garden Grove, the cost of nursing home care is relatively high. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, seniors typically pay around $9,125 per month for a semiprivate room compared to the national average of $7,756.

Nursing homes provide a high level of 24/7 medical care and supervision that seniors still living at home cannot receive. Nursing homes typically have skilled nurses and aides who are available 24/7, making it one of the most expensive long-term care options. For seniors who do not require round-the-clock care, an assisted living community or home health care agency may be appropriate and affordable.

This guide provides a comparison of the costs of different care types and a list of useful resources for Garden Grove seniors.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Garden Grove, 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.
