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.
There are various free and low-cost resources available to help New Albany seniors retain their independence, protect their rights and access the long-term care services and supports they need.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| LifeSpan Resources Care Management | (812) 948-8330 or (888) 948-8330 | The LifeSpan Resources Care Management program provides comprehensive case management services to seniors who require long-term care. Care coordinators can refer clients to the Aged and Disabled Medicaid Waiver, C.H.O.I.C.E. and other programs that can provide in-home services and supports to delay nursing home placement. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (812) 670-3926 | Indiana's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program works to protect nursing home residents' state and federally mandated rights. A statewide network of trained volunteer Ombudsmen advocate for long-term care residents and help resolve disputes between residents, families and facility staff. When necessary, Ombudsmen can escalate complaints and concerns to local law enforcement officials. |
| Meals To Go | (812) 948-8330 or (888) 948-8330 | Meals To Go is a low-cost weekly frozen meal delivery service for homebound seniors. Each meal contains an entree, whole-grain breads, reduced-sugar dessert or fruit and fresh milk. To qualify, seniors must have a temporary or permanent impairment that limits their ability to prepare healthy meals. A limited number of free meals are also available to socially isolated, low-income seniors. |
