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.
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.
Families of seniors who don’t require around-the-clock skilled nursing care may find that another type of care meets their loved one’s needs. In Fresno, the least-expensive senior care option is adult day health care, which costs around $1,653 per month. In-home care services cost an average of $5,034 per month for 44 hours of care each week, while residential care in an assisted living community averages $4,750 per month. Rates for semiprivate ($7,787) and private ($7,863) nursing home care are about $2,800-$6,100 higher in comparison.
