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.
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.
Walnut Creek seniors residing in nursing homes pay $12,471 for shared rooms and $15,208 for private accommodations, making this level of care the priciest option in the city. Those who only need help with daily living activities or short-term skilled nursing may pay about half the monthly rate by opting for assisted living, which costs $6,100 per month. Home care, which includes personal care and basic chores, and home health care, which also includes limited skilled nursing services, cost $6,101 per month. Seniors may save even more money by obtaining services in a daytime community setting via adult day health care, which is affordable at $1,950.
