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.
Seniors considering community-based personal care can also consider in-home care or adult day health care services, which can be much more affordable than nursing home care. In Elizabethtown, both homemaking and home health aide services are $3,432, which saves seniors $4,172 per month. Adult day health services are the cheapest option at $1,560 per month. Assisted living costs $3,550 per month, which is $4,054 less than nursing home care. Additionally, a private room costs $654 more than a private room.

Review of Signature HealthCARE of Bowling Green
There is no resident line to contact residents here as not everyone would have a phone in their room, only the front desk phones which staff apparently do not answer on weekend nights.
