READ MOREThe 5 Best Nursing Homes in Camarillo, CA for 2024
Camarillo is a bedroom community in the heart of Ventura County with pleasant year-round weather and 70,000-plus residents, including 20.4% aged 65 or older. To serve its elderly population, it has 183 doctors per 100,000 people, lower than the national average, but its local hospital caters to senior care. St. John’s Hospital Camarillo has several skilled nursing beds and is an accredited Level III Geriatric Emergency Department.
Aging adults needing 24/7 skilled nursing care may choose a nursing home to meet their health care needs. Nursing home services include activities of daily living assistance, medication administration and specialized rehabilitative services such as occupational therapy, pain management and wound care. However, seniors who don’t require this level of care may opt for home health care or assisted living, which have lower monthly costs. Per Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey, Camarillo’s average monthly cost for semiprivate rooms in a nursing home is $11,254, substantially higher than state and national averages.
This guide helps seniors compare their care options with average nursing home rates in Camarillo, nearby cities and to other types of long-term care. It also provides free or low-cost resources to help an aging adult with current or future care needs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Camarillo, CA
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.
