According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of nursing home care in Torrance is $8,060, which is higher than the national average of $7,756.

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.
The following information may be of interest to seniors who are looking for services that can help them safely age in place. One resource may be of use to seniors who have decided to make the move to nursing home care and are looking at financial assistance options.
