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.
There are a number of free and low-cost resources available to help Fresno seniors age-in-place in their own homes, delay or avoid institutionalization, and plan for their long-term care needs. There are also community-based supports available for those who require placement in a skilled nursing facility.
