Home to about 12,600 residents, 17.5% of whom are seniors ages 65 and older, West Monroe offers some significant benefits for older adults. First, the city has two major medical centers, Glenwood Regional Medical Center and Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals. Each offers a wide variety of specializations along with primary and emergency care, so seniors have many health care options. The city also boasts an above-average number of physicians per capita to serve residents’ medical needs.
Sometimes, seniors may struggle to care for themselves safely in their own homes. If they have complex medical conditions, nursing home placement may be a good option, for it provides 24-hour personal care support as well as therapy, case management and chronic condition monitoring. In West Monroe, this level of care costs $5,323 per month on average. If nursing home care isn’t necessary, seniors may turn to home care or assisted living instead and choose the services and environment that best fit their needs.

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.
