The 10 Best Nursing Homes in La Grange, IL for 2024

La Grange is a small community in Cook County, Illinois, and it’s a suburb of Chicago. An estimated 2,600 of the village’s 16,000+ residents are retirees aged 65 and older. This tight-knit community sees almost no crime and enjoys around 200 days of sunshine each year. Despite being a small village, La Grange is home to the faith-based AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center La Grange.

Nursing homes provide care to frail seniors who need 24/7 attention and supervision. These facilities have on-site nurses who can manage residents’ medical needs, including chronic illnesses. As older adults who live in these facilities have complex needs, there’s a low staff-to-resident ratio, which is why skilled nursing units are the most expensive type of senior care. In La Grange, the median monthly rate for a semiprivate room is $8,076. More independent seniors might consider assisted living or home care.

This guide provides a comparison of nursing home costs with other types of senior care and other metropolitan areas. It also includes several resources for seniors living in La Grange.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in La Grange, IL

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.
