They do not take vital signs ever. Their machines are broken. They do not have an wound doctor who visits a few times a week. It is generally dilapidated and old.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Danbury, CT
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 in Danbury provide the highest level of care when it comes to long-term care options, which also means it’s the most expensive. Seniors who don’t need this high level of care can choose home care or assisted living. In-home care costs an average of $4,767, while home health care is priced slightly higher at $5,148 due to the light medical services provided. Assisted living facilities in Danbury have a median price of $7,838 per month. Adult day health care is the most affordable option at $1,926 per month.

| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP) | (866) 388-1888 | The state government of Connecticut operates the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program to protect the rights and interests of residents inside nursing homes and other senior communities in Danbury. LTCOP addresses concerns raised by residents or other concerned parties, and it makes recommendations on how to improve long-term care in the state. Representatives educate older adults and families about any topic related to long-term care. LTCOP also trains volunteer advocates who help seniors resolve issues within their communities. |

Deliveries of two meals per day are available seven days per week. Menus are designed by a registered dietician and accommodate a wide variety of diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, lactose-intolerant and gluten-intolerant. While these meals are available for free due to federal subsidies, the program suggests a voluntary donation for seniors who are able to afford it. This program is operated by New Opportunities Inc. |
