READ MORELaguna Hills is situated in Southern California and offers a therapeutic environment for seniors seeking a warm climate and high access to affordable health care. It’s home to Saddleback Medical Center, which provides health screenings, surgical services and primary and specialty care, and over 100 major medical facilities are located in a 50-mile radius. There are about 250 doctors per capita, and prices for health expenses, such as doctor’s office visits and inpatient services, come in about 11% below national norms. For those who need care following a hospital stay, Laguna Hills has several nursing homes. These facilities charge $9,125 per month for services, which is hundreds of dollars below California’s norm.
Nursing home care is for seniors who need 24-hour medical care and supervision. These facilities provide private and semiprivate accommodations, meal services and recreational activities, along with skilled services, such as medication administration, rehabilitative therapies and disease monitoring and management. Assisted living and home care may be more appropriate options for those who need a lesser degree of care.
This guide provides details on how nursing home rates compare to other long-term care options in Laguna Hills, and it highlights ways to pay for care.

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
