The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Suwanee, GA for 2024

 

With a population of 22,477 residents, Suwanee has a small senior population of 8.2% over the age of 65. Three hospitals serve the community, including Emory John’s Creek Hospital, which specializes in joint replacement, stroke treatment and cardiac care. According to Genworth’s 2022 Cost of Care Survey, the average cost of nursing home care in Suwanee is $5,855 per month, which is considerably less than both state and national averages.

Nursing homes are long-term care facilities offering around-the-clock supervision, assistance with daily activities and medical care. Most provide rehabilitation services, such as physical, occupational and speech therapies, and organized events to keep residents engaged. Seniors with fewer care needs may find assisted living or in-home care more suitable, as both options offer help with activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing, along with limited medical care.

This guide provides details on nursing home care and other long-term care options in Suwanee. Additionally, it offers a list of nonprofit organizations that assist seniors in locating available benefits and information, as well as programs that provide financial assistance.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Suwanee, GA

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.

 

  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
