The 10 Best Nursing Homes in New Britain, CT for 2024

New Britain is a midsize city with about 74,400 residents, 13.3% of whom are aged 65 or older. Local health care is roughly 13% cheaper than Connecticut's statewide norm, and residents have access to numerous medical facilities, including The Hospital of Central Connecticut. New Britain is also home to several nursing homes, which charge $13,247 per month on average according to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey. This price is higher than the national norm but less than the Connecticut average of $13,764.

Nursing home care is best for seniors who need daily medical supervision and assistance with personal care tasks. Trained caregivers provide services such as medication management, chronic illness monitoring and bathing assistance, helping frail seniors live safely and comfortably. Older adults who don't need this high degree of care may be better suited to assisted living or home care, which include less intensive medical support and allow for more independence.

Through this guide, seniors and their families can learn more about nursing homes in New Britain, including how care prices compare to fees in nearby cities. It also includes a list of programs and agencies that help seniors navigate long-term care.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in New Britain, CT

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.
