READ MOREWestland is a city in Wayne County, about 30 minutes west of downtown Detroit. The 2020 census reveals 16.5% of its 85,420 residents are aged 65 and older, the age group most in need of medical care. Fortunately, the city is well served by numerous medical facilities, such as the Garden City Hospital and Wayne Medical Center. There is also an abundance of Medicare-registered physicians, ensuring Westland’s seniors have greater choice over who manages their treatments.
Nursing homes provide high levels of medical care for seniors who need 24/7 support. However, unlike hospitals, their environments are more like home, with seniors’ rooms typically furnished with personal items. Staffed by skilled nurses, trained housekeepers and chefs, nursing homes ensure every aspect of care is covered. This comprehensive level of care comes at a cost, usually around $9,429 for a semiprivate room in Westland — which is about 5% more than the state average. However, more affordable care is available for seniors who don’t require round-the-clock support, such as assisted living and home health care.
The remainder of this guide covers senior care costs in greater detail. It also lists some useful resources for seniors and their families.

Westland’s typical fees of $10,950 for a private room in a nursing home and $9,429 for a semiprivate one may be off-putting for some. However, if the senior doesn’t require 24/7 care, more affordable options are available. For example, assisted living facilities in Westland typically charge $5,590 for their services, while home care agencies are around $4,767 per month and home health care, $4,862. The Genworth survey doesn’t include costs for adult day care, but the state average of $2,080 should give some indication of likely fees.

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.
