The 10 Best Nursing Homes in West Bloomfield, MI for 2024

West Bloomfield’s low crime rate and high number of physicians are part of what makes it such an appealing retirement destination for its 14,565 seniors. The city’s residents have the choice of several hospitals for medical care, including Henry Ford West Bloomfield, which is ranked 12th in the state. Although West Bloomfield’s overall cost of living is around 15% more than the United States average and higher than the statewide figure, its average costs of health care services are below the national and state figures. For nursing home care, the city’s seniors spend an average of $8,821 per month, a bit below the state’s median cost.

In addition to assistance with personal care, West Bloomfield’s nursing homes usually offer medication management, wound care, injections and diabetes management. Physicians and nurses supervise residents 24/7, and most facilities also offer rehabilitative services. Seniors who don’t need such extensive medical care and attention may find that assisted living or home care is a better fit for their lifestyle and needs.

In this guide, we cover the cost of senior care in West Bloomfield and provide an overview of several resources that can help seniors choose and pay for nursing home care or delay it by receiving in-home services.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in West Bloomfield, MI

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.
