The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Pomona, CA for 2024

Pomona is a large city of about 152,000 residents, 12% of whom are seniors. The city is home to two major medical facilities, including Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and Casa Colina Hospital, both of which are high-performing in a wide range of specialties. This, combined with competitive health care costs that come in 15% below national averages, may support a therapeutic environment for older adults managing illnesses or injuries. On average, nursing homes in Pomona charge starting monthly rates of $9,125, which is hundreds of dollars below the state norm of $9,794.

Nursing homes are ideal for seniors who need extensive medical and personal care services and 24-hour monitoring. These facilities are staffed with physicians, nurses and certified caregivers and offer private and semiprivate housing, daily meals and recreational activities. For seniors who don’t need this high level of care, assisted living or home health care may be more suitable and affordable.

This guide provides more information on nursing home care in Pomona, including how costs compare to alternative long-term care options in the city. It also highlights some of the most helpful resources for seniors in the community.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Pomona, 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.
