Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Glendale, 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.

WISE & Healthy Aging Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(800) 334-9473WISE & Healthy Aging is a nonprofit organization that performs the role of Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Los Angeles County. The role involves visiting nursing homes to educate residents about their rights and advocating for them in disputes with their care providers. This can include concerns about care standards. However, if those concerns suggest criminal behavior, such as elder abuse, the ombudsman will inform the proper authorities. The families of residents and third parties can also register their concerns with the ombudsman.
USC Family Caregiver Support Center(800) 540-4442The USC Family Caregiver Support Center is a nonprofit that helps caregivers cope with the challenges of their roles through training, one-on-one advice and support groups. To be eligible for assistance, caregivers must be looking after a loved one aged 60 and older who can't remain in their home without constant support. In some cases, the center can provide respite services, although these may incur a fee.
Helping Hands Senior Foundation(818) 279-6580Seniors and families looking for practical support regarding long-term health care options can call on the free services provided by the Helping Hands Senior Foundation. It can help find a range of free and subsidized resources within the Glendale area that enables families to make more informed decisions. In some cases, this may involve solutions that include utilizing seniors' existing health care insurance plans.
Elderly Nutrition Program(818) 548-3775The Elderly Nutrition Program is a free service managed by the City of Glendale for residents unable to prepare their own meals and who don't have someone to prepare food for them.

The delivery also includes seven half-pints of milk, seven pieces of bread and fresh fruit, which can be assorted or canned. The second option is a daily collection of fresh food from the nearest collection point. This option is only available to seniors without the means to store frozen food and heat it in their homes.
