Review of Vasona Creek Healthcare Center
The rooms are all shared. When my mom was there, she didn’t even have a privacy curtain for 2 days. The tv didn’t work well. The worst part was the care. They didn’t change her dressing on time....

Do not send your loved one to this facility!! They want the insurance money until it runs out and will desperately try to keep patients regardless of baseline. Lack of communication is extremely...

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Los Gatos, 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.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
There are other care options for seniors who need a lesser degree of care. Assisted living allows seniors to enjoy maintenance-free lifestyles and is the most affordable at $5,550 per month. In-home care and home health care are ideal for seniors who need daily assistance but wish to age in place. They cost $6,864 and $7,007 per month, respectively. Nursing homes are the most expensive option, starting at $10,646 per month for semiprivate accommodations.
