Sunny, coastal Newport News, VA, has over 179,000 residents, of which 12.7% are ages 65 and older. These seniors can find high-quality medical care at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital. They also have access to high-performing Riverside Regional Medical Center, which houses Select Specialty Hospital Hampton Roads, a critical illness recovery unit.

A semiprivate room here has an average monthly cost of $7,665, while the national average is $7,756.

Nursing homes accommodate the progressive personal and medical needs of individuals who can no longer care for themselves in another living arrangement. These facilities provide skilled nurses, aides, 24/7 supervision and therapies along with room and board and social programs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Newport News, VA

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