Tallahassee’s average cost for nursing home care is $7,543 per month in semiprivate rooms and $11,558 for private-room accommodations.
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.
Seniors and their loved ones may consider other care options based on costs and the level of care needed. The cheapest option in Tallahassee is adult day health care, at $1,246 per month, suitable for those who require minimal-to-moderate health support. For seniors who can safely remain at home, home care and home health care have close average costs, both over $4,000. Assisted living offers a homelike alternative to institutional care, at $5,506. Nursing home care is the costliest option, with a large price difference of about $4,000 between private and semiprivate arrangements.
