6 Nursing Homes Near Coeur d’Alene, ID

Coeur d’Alene is the Idaho panhandle’s largest city but is home to only slightly over 50,000 residents, offering retirees the comfort of laid-back city living. Scenic views of Lake Coeur d’Alene and the area’s forested mountains can be enjoyed from almost anywhere in the city, especially from resorts, downtown beaches and ADA-accessible parks along the North Idaho Centennial Trail. Close to 17% of the city’s population is 65 and older, and those seniors have access to quality health care services from Kootenai Health, a Mayo Clinic Care Network member. The Lake City is also conveniently close to Spokane, Washington, with a very short commute time of around 18 minutes.

CDA’s overall cost of living is relatively affordable except for housing; its senior care costs are notably above the national averages. Nursing home care is considered expensive at $8,638 per month, a significant bump over the U.S. median of $7,756. The high pricing in nursing homes is due to the intermediate care they provide, particularly for those who require 24-hour skilled nursing services. Assisted living and home health care are alternative noninstitutional care options for seniors who may only need intermittent nursing care.

This guide discusses cost comparisons for nursing home care and other senior care options in Coeur d’Alene. A list of free resources is also provided to help seniors with making long-term care choices.

Nursing Home Costs in Coeur D’Alene, ID

The average cost for nursing home care in Coeur d’Alene is $8,638 per month for semiprivate accommodations and $9,794 for private rooms.

The Cost of Nursing Home Care in Nearby Cities

Coeur d’Alene’s average nursing home care cost of $8,638 is almost on par with the Idaho average of $8,669. This makes the city relatively midrange in the Gem State, but nearly $900 over the national average of $7,756. The amounts compared are semiprivate-room nursing home care costs. 

Over the state line in nearby Spokane, Washington, the monthly cost of nursing home care is $10,615, nearly $2,000 more expensive than in CDA. Idaho’s most affordable option is Lewiston at $7,254 per month. State capital Boise and Missoula, Montana, each have average costs of over $9,000, representing a $600 to $900 jump over CDA’s costs.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care

Other long-term care options may be considered over nursing home care if 24-hour skilled nursing is not required. The semiprivate-room option, at $8,638, may be more affordable than private-room nursing home care, which costs $9,794, but it’s almost twice the amount one would pay for assisted living. At $4,373 per month, assisted living is slightly cheaper than home care and home health care, which are $4,671 and $4,957, respectively. Adult day care ($1,993) is the most affordable option due to its nonresidential setting.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Coeur D’Alene, ID

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 in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
• Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible 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 any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
