Seniors in Baton Rouge pay $5,597 for a semiprivate room in a nursing home and $5,840 for a private room, on average.
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.
After nursing homes, assisted living is the most expensive type of long-term care in Baton Rouge. On average, it costs $3,618 a month, a $1,979 savings over a semiprivate room in a nursing home. For a private room in a nursing home, the price gap widens to $2,222 a month. Seniors in adult day health care pay almost 75% less than they would in a nursing home semiprivate room and over 58% less than the $3,432 average monthly cost of home care and home health care.

In the list below, we’ve briefly outlined several programs and organizations that can help seniors receive health care services in their homes or pay for the care they receive at a nursing facility.
Resource | Contact | Service |
---|---|---|
Office of Social Services | (225) 925-6505 | At the Office of Social Services, state-certified workers provide free consultations and assistance with enrolling in Medicaid and other government programs designed to assist low-income residents. Seniors can receive help navigating the available state-funded long-term care programs and learn about the medical and financial eligibility guidelines to have their nursing home care costs paid for by Medicaid. |
Community Choices Waiver | (877) 456-1146 | Administered by the Office of Aging and Adult Services, the CCW offers nursing home-eligible seniors a range of in-home care services, including skilled nursing, home modifications for improved accessibility, home-delivered meals and assistance with activities of daily living. In addition to the program’s medical requirements, seniors must be eligible for Medicaid. |
Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly | (225) 490-0604 | PACE is a nonprofit program designed to help seniors avoid placement in a nursing facility by receiving the necessary care and support at home and in the community. To qualify, applicants must be at least 55 years of age and eligible for Medicaid. The program covers all specialty and primary physician services as well as prescription medications, medical equipment, in-home personal care and rehabilitation. |
Long-Term Personal Care Services Program | (225) 342-9500 | Through the Long-Term Personal Care Services Program, Medicaid recipients over the age of 65 can receive assistance with grocery shopping, meal preparation, light housework and personal care activities such as grooming and toileting. The program also provides seniors with someone to accompany them when they travel to doctors’ appointments. Interested seniors should contact the Office of Aging and Adult Services. |
Capital Area Agency on Aging | (225) 922-2525 | The Capital Area AAA lets seniors access a range of helpful services and programs, such as drug discounts through the SenioRX program and free respite care for family caregivers. With help from CAAA’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman, seniors in nursing facilities can work to rectify care quality concerns, financial disputes and other pertinent matters. |
