Greenwood prides itself on its low cost of living and city services. Such features have attracted an estimated population of 59,458 residents, of whom 14.4% are seniors 65 years of age or up. Greenwood’s location in the Indianapolis metro area means its residents can choose from among many hospitals. Notable options include Community Hospital South and its neighboring facilities, which focus on cancer care and surgery. In Greenwood, the average senior pays $7,209 per month for nursing home accommodations, which compares favorably to the corresponding national figure of $7,756.
Nursing homes are designed for residents who require advanced care but don’t require hospitalization. Among other offerings, physical, speech and occupational therapy services help residents rebuild and maintain their capabilities, while nursing care is readily available. Because of the high levels of attention nursing homes give their residents, these facilities tend to charge more than other senior care providers. Older adults who can function with less help may be more interested in assisted living or home health care, which usually carry lower prices.
Next, this guide takes a comparative look at nursing home costs in Greenwood. It closes with a list of several supportive services for Greenwood’s 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.
During the aging process, seniors may turn to supportive services to help them remain at home for as long as possible or make living in long-term care facilities easier. Some of the below offerings help Greenville’s seniors with the former goal, while others assist with the latter.
