Newnan’s seniors have access to extensive health care services at Piedmont Newnan Hospital, a medical center offering 24-hour emergency care, specialty wound care and a wide array of medical and surgical services. Other health care practitioners and clinics available to Newnan seniors include Peachtree Medical Center’s internal medicine specialists and Peachtree Immediate Care for urgent care needs. Nursing home costs in Newnan are relatively lower than the national average, according to the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey. The average monthly cost for a semiprivate room in a nursing home across the United States is $7,756, while in Newnan that cost is $6,950.
Nursing homes have around-the-clock registered nurses and personal care aides to tend to residents’ medical and personal care needs, which is why these long-term care facilities are often more expensive than other types of living arrangements. Seniors who don’t require 24-hour nursing assistance may instead opt for home health care or assisted living arrangements.
This guide goes into more detail regarding the costs of various care types. Also listed are some area resources to help Newnan’s seniors.
