The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Greeley, CO for 2024

The historic city of Greeley is located in the state of Colorado. It is home to 108,649 residents, and about 11.9% of its population are aged 65 and over. Seniors in the city have access to the UCHealth Aspen Senior Club, which is operated by UC Health Medical Center and provides medical screening, discounts and health education. Additional medical facilities are available at North Colorado Medical Center.

Nursing homes offer 24/7 medical monitoring and assistance for chronically ill and extremely frail seniors. The care is provided by registered nurses who are always available to assist residents. As a result of this, the cost of care is generally on the expensive side. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of a semiprivate room in nursing home care in Greeley is $9,277, which is higher than the national average of $7,756. Seniors living in the city, who don’t require constant medical monitoring, may want to look at alternatives such as assisted living and home care services.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greeley, CO

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.
