Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Ontario, 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

Nursing homes are the most expensive type of senior care in Ontario. Older adults who don’t require a high level of care may opt for assisted living facilities, which cost $5,000 per month on average. Those who wish to remain in their own homes may opt for home care, which costs $5,434 per month, or home health care, which is a little more expensive at $5,529 and includes light medical care. The most affordable type of care in Ontario is adult day health care, which offers care and supervision to seniors during daytime hours for $1,647 per month.

Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(866) 229-0284The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program helps seniors in nursing homes resolve issues related to their rights and well-being, including quality of care, abuse and neglect.

This ombudsman program is operated by San Bernardino County's Department of Aging and Adult Services. All services delivered to nursing home residents through this program are free and confidential.
Veterans Resource Center(909) 395-2359Veterans in Ontario who are in nursing homes or at risk for institutionalization can contact the Veterans Resource Center to get help with their benefits. Counselors at the center are trained to help beneficiaries with their applications and resolve problems with claims.

Special Transportation Services(909) 379-7284Disabled seniors who are unable to drive or access public transportation in Ontario can get around town using the special transportation services from OmniTrans. Its paratransit services are available for seniors aged 62 and older who can demonstrate a disability by providing a doctor's recommendation and passing an in-person eligibility assessment. Seniors without disabilities can apply for the reimbursement program, which can pay for trips using taxies or ride-sharing services.
Family Caregiver Support Program(800) 510-2020San Bernardino County's Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) runs this program to help caregivers who are looking after Ontario seniors who may be at risk for nursing home placement.

Both family and non-family caregivers who are taking care of an adult aged 60 or older are eligible for this program. Priority is given to families dealing with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
