READ MOREMontgomery, in central Alabama, is the state’s capital. The city has a population of 198,525 residents, and 14.3% of them are seniors 65 years of age and older. For medical care, Montgomery’s seniors have easy access to several facilities in the Baptist Health network. Another option is Jackson Hospital, which has an emergency department and provides specialty services such as orthopedics and spinal care. Montgomery also features relatively affordable nursing homes, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey: A typical Montgomery nursing home charges $6,540 per month for a semiprivate room, while the corresponding national average is $7,756.
Nursing homes provide comprehensive services, commonly including around-the-clock nursing care, medical monitoring and help with everyday tasks. That extensive support usually comes at a higher price point compared to other senior care options. Seniors who require less supervision may save money and find a better fit with assisted living or home health care.
This guide takes a detailed look at senior care costs, including those of nursing homes, in Montgomery. Additionally, the guide covers several Montgomery-area resources for seniors.

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.
As seniors grow older and face changing needs, they and their families may turn to local resources for assistance. Several examples of such resources available in Montgomery are listed below. Some of these resources’ services make it possible to remain at home longer. Others help seniors find and adapt to other care arrangements.Â
