Yale New Haven Hospital, a nationally recognized 1,541-bed facility, is also less than 10 miles away.
According to the 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, nursing homes in Shelton are less expensive than the Connecticut average, with semiprivate rooms costing around $13,090. Nursing homes offer meal services, adapted activity programs, personal care assistance and 24/7 skilled services, such as disease monitoring, rehabilitation therapies, IV therapy and wound care. These facilities are most suitable for individuals with health conditions requiring close monitoring from skilled professionals. Seniors in relatively good health are likely better served by home care or assisted living, which provide limited skilled nursing services alongside personal care and daily errand assistance.

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.
