Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Scottsdale, 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.

Home-Delivered Meals(602) 495-3709The City of Phoenix runs a home-delivered meals program for seniors in the greater Phoenix area, which includes Scottsdale. Meals are delivered around noon each day from Tuesday to Friday by a group of volunteers. Low-income seniors with no regular assistance may qualify for frozen meals for the weekend. One meal is provided for each day, and the meal contains a third of the daily calorie requirement of an adult. Seniors must be aged 60 or older and have an illness or disability that prevents them from preparing meals on their own to be eligible for the meal delivery program. There is no charge for the meals, but donations are welcomed. 
SHIP(602) 264-2255The State Health Insurance Program provides objective information regarding Medicare and other health insurance benefits. Trained volunteers provide free and unbiased assistance to seniors and their caregivers. These counselors can help seniors find the best state health insurance plan to suit their individual needs and assist them in filling out an application. In addition, staff members can explain the financial assistance options available to low-income seniors who are looking at moving to a nursing home care facility. They can also provide seniors with a list of nursing homes that accept state health insurance payments.
Brown Bag(480) 312-1700The Brown Bag program provides a weekly bag of food to low-income seniors in the Scottsdale area free of charge. The bags contain a selection of proteins, vegetables, fruits and bread to supplement the senior’s food options.

Beat the Heat(480) 312-5811The Beat the Heat Program is designed to assist homebound seniors aged 60 and older during the hot summer months. Seniors are visited by staff who assess their health and provide them with a care package, including drinks, snacks and toiletries.
