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.
Both in-home care and home health care are more affordable than nursing home care in Chicopee, costing respective monthly averages of $5,339 and $5,529. The increased cost of home health care brings light medical services to the senior’s home. Those looking for around-the-clock assistance with daily living tasks who don’t require skilled nursing care may opt for an assisted living facility, averaging $5,048 per month. Seniors seeking daytime services can receive adult day health care for $10,500 less per month than a semiprivate nursing home room and nearly $11,000 less than a private room.Â
