The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Greer, SC for 2024

Greer is home to about 42,000 people, with adults over the age of 65 representing 13.3% of the local population. Seniors with ongoing medical conditions can benefit from the city's mild climate and comparatively low health care prices, as well as numerous medical facilities such as Prisma Health Greer Memorial Hospital and Prisma Health Urgent Care. Older adults can also benefit from the city's low nursing home prices. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey, local rates are several hundred dollars below the state and national norms, averaging $6,692 per month.

Nursing home care is best for seniors who require constant medical supervision. These facilities provide personal care assistance and specialized services such as wound care, chronic disease management and medication administration. Seniors who don't require this high level of care may be better candidates for assisted living or home care, which offer greater independence and less intensive medical support.

This guide includes more information about nursing home care in Greer, including price comparisons to nearby areas and financial assistance programs. It also includes a list of local resources that can help seniors choose their ideal long-term care solution.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greer, SC

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid:Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
