Westfield sits in the southwestern region of Massachusetts, just a few miles north of the Massachusetts-Connecticut border, and features age-friendly recreational amenities and long-term care options. It fosters a supportive environment for its older residents through Baystate Noble Hospital, an 85-bed community hospital that serves as the state’s only public medical school.
Westfield also supports its senior community through access to high-quality nursing homes, which provide housing and 24-hour medical support to those with extensive care needs. These skilled nursing facilities provide a broad range of services, including 24-hour supervision, daily meals, medication management and nursing care. They also provide social and recreational activities throughout the week to help residents stay active and engaged. Because this type of care is the most intensive option available, it’s the costliest at $12,623 per month. For seniors who primarily need custodial care, home care or assisted living may offer thousands of dollars in monthly savings over nursing home care.
This guide includes more information on how Westfield's nursing home costs compare to local and regional alternatives, and it highlights state and federal programs that may help seniors pay for care.Â

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
