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.
These resources may help seniors who are looking for services that could help them stay in their own homes for as long as possible and delay the move to nursing home care. One resource looks at financial assistance options for seniors who are ready to transition to a nursing home.
