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.

The following programs and services can help seniors who are looking for ways to pay for nursing home care or delay moving into a nursing facility by receiving care services at their homes. We also include advocacy services for current nursing home residents.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) | (301) 255-4250 | Counselors with SHIP advise seniors on their eligibility for Medicare and which plans best meet their needs. In addition to its one-on-one counseling, SHIP holds frequent seminars to review common questions and issues faced by seniors reviewing insurance options. The program's employees are well-versed in Medicare's prescription drug savings plans and supplement insurance, and all counseling services are free. |
| In Home Aide Services (IHAS) | (240) 777-3000 | Provided by the Montgomery County Aging and Disability Resource Unit, the IHAS program helps seniors avoid moving into a nursing home by providing in-home services such as meal preparation and assistance with eating, bathing and dressing. To qualify, seniors must be unable to receive the necessary services from other sources, willing to receive the services and able to pay a cost share when necessary. Depending on the program's funding and an individual's income, some seniors won't have to pay any fees. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (240) 777-3369 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program ensures seniors in nursing homes are receiving the standard of care required by law and are not subject to any forms of neglect or abuse. The program's employees also help seniors learn about and choose nursing facilities before they become residents. |
| Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services | (240) 777-0311 | At the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, seniors can apply for Medicaid and other social welfare programs such as food and cash assistance.
