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.
Davenport and the Quad Cities area offer free resources to help guide seniors through long-term care options, possibly preventing the need for nursing home care. When nursing care is needed, these resources also provide assistance with the transition process.
