My mother-in-law is at Vienna Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. They are amazing. She’s clean, she said. They’re attentive, and they try to get her involved. She’s not in the rehab portion anymore, but they’re consistent about trying to get her up. They call me with any concerns. She just had COVID, and she had to go into isolation for ten days, and they called me every day and gave me an update. I can’t say anything bad about Vienna. Her linens are always clean. The floor is always clean. Her room is always clean. They have stuff, but she doesn’t do anything. She likes to stay in her bed. If you have to be in a place like that, I think they’re amazing. The staff is amazing. Even the little gal at the front desk knows my mother-in-law’s name. It’s almost like a little family. We’re just so pleased.

My mom was at Dycora Transitional Health – Galt. The staff was phenomenal. The social services gal gave us tremendous information. They were wonderful and supportive. The care my mom received while she was there was excellent. The nurses and the nurse’s aides were very, very concerned about the residents. They put different alarms on her wrists and they made sure she did not get out of the facility.
It could have been a little cleaner and it would have been nice for her to have a better mattress, but the care she got was just phenomenal. They made her bathe at a certain point (she wanted her privacy), and they made her stay clean. I was so grateful for that. They were just as gentle and kind as could be, and stern. She was delighted that they had a great library. At first, she had her meals in her room and then they allowed her to have meals with other people in the dining room. It was very, very nice. They got her out, got her moving around, and made sure they gave everybody appropriate safe care and attention.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Lodi, 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.
Free Resources for Seniors in Lodi, CA
In this section, there are a few resources for seniors in Lodi, including case management for individuals who need help exploring their long-term care options. Representatives can provide personalized assessments and refer qualifying seniors to free in-home care providers to delay placement in a nursing home.
Provided by San Joaquin County’s Human Services Agency, case managers can assess a senior’s level of independence and recommend local programs and services to increase quality of life. In-home supportive services are available for low-income Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Working with a network of community centers that offer programs for the entire family, have specific services for seniors, such as congregate dining and social activities.
The state’s long-term care ombudsmen are trained to investigate complaints about long-term care facilities, including nursing homes, on behalf of residents or their loved ones. Ombudsmen can help seniors resolve issues regarding financial abuse and lack of quality care. Family members can also initiate an investigation if they are concerned about residents’ diets or rehabilitation regimes. A local ombudsman can be contacted by calling the number provided or reaching out to the county’s Aging & Community Services.
Certified by the state, HICAP counselors can provide group Medicare presentations as well as one-on-one counseling sessions in-person and over the phone. Seniors can learn about their long-term coverage options, including programs that can extend Medicare’s coverage to lessen out-of-pocket costs. Counselors can also assist with appealing denials, along with educating beneficiaries about scams and Medicare fraud. To learn more about HICAP, contact the county’s Aging & Community Services or call the number provided.
The state-of-the-art Sacramento VA Medical Center offers a wide range of patient-centered medical services, ranging from primary care to rehabilitation services. Whether they are looking for preventative or palliative care, seniors can work with rheumatology and CPAP specialists to ease symptoms and improve their condition. As part of the VA Northern California health care system, the medical center is equipped for cardiac and orthopedic surgeries, as well as neurosurgery.
