Seniors in Castle Rock pay an average of $8,669 for semi-private rooms in nursing homes and $10,053 for private accommodations.
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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Assisted living costs 36% less than nursing homes, but the care and supervision are less comprehensive. At $2,275 per month, adult day health care is the most affordable choice, more suitable for seniors who need support only during the daytime. Seniors can contract in-home care for $6,769 per month if they require assistance with daily tasks and household chores or home health care for $6,864 if they need light medical care; both are less expensive than nursing home care.
