The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Daytona Beach, FL for 2024

Daytona Beach is located on Florida’s Atlantic coast roughly a 90-minute drive south of Jacksonville. Accounting for 20.8% of the town’s population, 14,390 seniors reside in the seaside city where the cost of living is low and the weather is near perfect for seven months of the year. For what an ocean breeze and sunshine can’t heal, the doctors at Halifax Health Medical Center, AdventHealth Daytona Beach and other local health care facilities can.

In Dayton Beach’s nursing homes, seniors receive around-the-clock medical supervision from physicians and nurses as well as assistance with daily living activities, injections, medication management and other medical services. Physical, speech and occupational therapy are also commonly available. At $8,821 a month, the median cost of nursing home care in Daytona Beach is higher than the state and national averages. Assuming that the level of care meets their needs, seniors could see significant financial savings going with assisted living or home care, instead.

In addition to the costs of senior care, this guide covers programs and services that may help seniors select a nursing facility and pay for care or even delay moving to a nursing home by receiving in-home services.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Daytona Beach, FL

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.
