Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Petaluma, 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
Because nursing home care is expensive in Petaluma, seniors and their families might want to consider other options. At an average of $6,300 per month, assisted living is several hundred dollars less expensive than both private and semiprivate nursing home accommodations. Home care and home health care both cost a monthly average of $6,435 in Petaluma, while adult day health care is the least expensive senior care option at an average of $2,275 per month.

| County of Sonoma Adult & Aging Division | (707) 565-5900 | Seniors can get help making long-term care plans, receive health insurance counseling, take a fall prevention class and access a variety of other programs and services through the County of Sonoma's Adult and Aging Division. The division maintains a Senior Resource Guide designed to make it easy for seniors and their loved ones to find community-based resources relevant to their individual situations, needs and preferences. The agency also offers case management for those who would prefer to remain in their own homes for as long as possible even though they may require a nursing home level of care. |
| Sonoma County Veterans Service Office | (707) 565-5960 | Those who have served in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and their qualifying spouses or survivors can get assistance navigating the red tape involved in accessing service-based benefits. They can also help with accessing discharge papers and getting health and dental care. California also maintains Veterans Homes in communities across the state to provide long-term care for former military members and their spouses or significant others. |
| Health Insurance Counseling & Advocacy Program | (800) 434-0222 | HICAP is part of a federal program designed to promote informed decisions among Medicare recipients. Seniors learn how the program works, what types of prescription and supplemental programs are available and how to choose the ones that best suit their individual needs. Other subjects include choosing long-term care insurance, identifying Medicare fraud and how to file an appeal. This program is free of charge for anyone who is eligible to receive Medicare. One-on-one telephone sessions are available for those who are unable to travel to in-person sessions. |
| Sonoma County Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (707) 526-4108 | Residents of long-term care facilities can reach out to the Sonoma County Long-Term Care Ombudsman for free, confidential assistance and advocacy services. Professional staff and trained volunteers strive to ensure that all legal rights of residents of these facilities are not violated and investigate complaints of neglect, abuse and exploitation. |
