The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Norwalk, CA for 2024

Norwalk is a city with a low crime rate and access to affordable health care, making it an attractive option for seniors seeking long-term care. The city supports seniors’ health with two hospitals, Norwalk Community Hospital and Coast Plaza Hospital, as well as several nursing homes. Seniors in this city pay $9,125 per month for nursing home care, which is competitive compared to average rates in California as a whole.

Nursing home care is for seniors who need skilled nursing services, around-the-clock medical supervision and full assistance with most daily living activities. These facilities have caring teams of licensed health care providers and experienced caregivers who administer medications, provide rehabilitative therapies and assist with managing chronic conditions. For those with limited skilled nursing and personal care needs, home care or assisted living may be more appropriate and affordable. 

This guide provides more details on nursing home care in Norwalk, including how much care costs, how it compares in price to local long-term care alternatives and the most common ways seniors pay for care. It also outlines resources that help seniors navigate the move-in process and connect with community-based services.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Norwalk, CA

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.
