Monthly, Gainesville’s nursing homes charge an average of $6,388 for a semiprivate room and $6,692 for a private room.
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.
In Gainesville, nursing homes are the priciest type of senior care provider. On average, each month, nursing homes charge $6,388 for semiprivate rooms and $6,692 for private rooms.
