Because of the high levels of attention nursing homes give their residents, these facilities tend to charge more than other senior care providers. Older adults who can function with less help may be more interested in assisted living or home health care, which usually carry lower prices.
Next, this guide takes a comparative look at nursing home costs in Greenwood. It closes with a list of several supportive services for Greenwood’s seniors.
