The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Matthews, NC for 2024

Matthews, NC, has a population of about 30,100 people and a senior community that comprises 17.4% of residents. The city’s seniors have many health care options with 238 physicians per capita, well-above the national average of 210. Seniors are also served by two major medical centers: Atrium Health Union West provides emergency and specialty care, including surgery and cardiology, while Matthews Medical Center offers numerous specialties including stroke and cancer care.

Some frail seniors find themselves no longer safe in their own homes. If they have complex medical issues and require 24/7 care, a nursing home may be a good choice. Nursing homes provide comprehensive care that includes assistance with daily living and medication, as well as therapy and more specialized services such as IV and wound care. Seniors in Matthews will pay about $7,756 per month for nursing home care according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey. People who don’t need as much care may prefer less expensive options, such as assisted living or home care.

In this guide, seniors and their families can learn more about nursing home care in Matthews and discover information about payment options and resources.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Matthews, NC

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.
