The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Yukon, OK for 2024

 

Located just 3.5 miles from Oklahoma City's western boundary, Yukon is close to a wide choice of medical care facilities, including a nationally recognized orthopedic hospital, SSM Health Bone & Joint Hospital at St. Anthony. Around 19% of the city's 25,500 residents are 65 or older, and local nursing home rates are comparatively cheap. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, semi-private rooms in Yukon nursing homes average $5,551 monthly, which is 29.8% below the U.S. average.

Nursing homes provide 24/7 monitoring, personal care, rehabilitation therapies and skilled nursing services, such as wound care and oxygen management. These facilities are suitable for those recovering from hospitalization and individuals with complex chronic medical conditions. Home health care is an alternative option for those in a position to receive skilled nursing at home. Meanwhile, home care or assisted living are less expensive options for seniors who don't require around-the-clock medical services.

This guide explores how favorably Yukon's nursing home rates compare to those in cities across Oklahoma and the costs of other locally available care options. It also includes information about financial assistance programs and free resources to help seniors choose the most suitable care providers.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Yukon, OK

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.
