The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Grand Haven, MI for 2024

Grand Haven is a beach town in West Michigan with a large community of seniors. Adults aged 65 and older account for 22.8% of the total population, promoting a welcoming environment for retirees. Older adults can benefit from the city's lower-than-average health care prices and access to high-ranking medical facilities, including Spectrum Health Grand Haven Center and Holland Hospital's primary care satellite location. 

Nursing homes provide 24/7 medical support and extensive personal care assistance for seniors, helping them manage ongoing health issues and live a safe, comfortable lifestyle. Medical experts and trained caregivers offer services such as IV therapy, medication administration and chronic illness management, and many facilities plan social activities to help residents stay mentally active. In Grand Haven, nursing home care has an average price of $9,405 per month, according to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey. Older adults who don't require such intensive medical support can consider assisted living or home care, both of which are cheaper alternatives geared toward seniors with a higher level of independence.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Grand Haven, MI

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.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one's stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including 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.
