Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Mesa, Arizona

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.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

On average, semiprivate rooms in nursing homes cost $9,247 per month, and seniors in private rooms pay $10,646. Depending on the individual’s care needs, other options may be more appropriate and cost-effective. For those who need short-term or intermittent skilled nursing services, assisted living, which costs $3,700 monthly, may be an option. Seniors who prefer to receive nursing services in their own homes may be good candidates for home health care, which averages $5,243 monthly. Home care, which includes personal care services without skilled nursing, is a little more affordable at $5,148. The most affordable senior care option is adult day health care at $867 per month.
