White Plains, located at the far northern edge of the greater New York metro area, is a popular place for New York retirees to settle in. Home to 58,000 people, more than 17% of White Plains’ residents are seniors aged 65 and older. White Plains is located in Westchester County, home to the world-famous Westchester Medical Center, which is part of the Medicare network and accepts seniors as patients. The city is close to the many shopping and entertainment options New York City has to offer, but far enough north that local seniors can golf, hike and fish in the broad green spaces north of town.

Common features of nursing home care include medication management, skilled nursing and therapeutic services from professionals on staff. In the White Plains area, this level of care costs $11,771 a month, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in White Plains, NY

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.
