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.
These resources may help seniors who are looking for services that would assist them in remaining safely in their own homes for as long as possible. One resource assists seniors who have made the choice to move to nursing home care and are now looking at financial aid options.
