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.
Nursing home care might not be the most suitable style of senior care if 24-hour access to skilled nursing professionals isn’t yet a priority. There are less expensive senior care options to suit more independent older adults who don’t require around-the-clock care. The cheapest option for seniors in Wilmington is adult day health care, which is $1,842 on average per month. Home care and home health care are priced the same at $4,767, and assisted living costs $5,550 per month. Nursing homes are the costliest option at $11,285 for a semiprivate room and $12,498 for a private room.
