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.
The city of Louisville has a number of free resources for seniors in the community. These resources may help seniors with nursing home costs or assist them to age in place for a longer period of time.
Resource | Contact | Service |
---|---|---|
ElderServe | (502) 587-8673 | ElderServe is a nonprofit organization that has helped seniors age independently in their own homes since 1962. The program offers an adult day health care center that provides some much-needed respite for caregivers. A donation is requested for this service, but no senior is turned away if they can’t afford the donation. Additional services include senior companions to assist with running errands and meal prep, care management and matching seniors with volunteers who have similar interests for friendship. |
Kentucky Health | Online contact only | KY Health, which is the Kentucky version of Medicaid, is a state and federally-funded program. Seniors over the age of 60 who require full-time medical care in a nursing care home may be eligible for free payment assistance. Seniors are required to contribute all their available income to the nursing home payment, and Medicaid picks up the rest of the payment. Seniors are allowed to keep a small amount of money to purchase necessities. |
Senior Nutrition Program | (502) 574-6375 | The Senior Nutrition Program is partially funded by the state, and the rest of the funding comes from donations. Volunteers deliver one hot meal each day to homebound seniors over the age of 60 who are unable to cook for themselves. The volunteers check on the seniors and make sure that they are healthy and don’t currently require additional assistance. There is no charge for this service but donations are greatly appreciated. Priority is given to those with the greatest social, physical and economic need for the service. |
