The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Ypsilanti, MI for 2024
In Ypsilanti, 8.4% of the city's 19,700 people are 65 or older. Local seniors can benefit from the city's lower-than-average health care prices and quick access to medical facilities such as St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Reichert Health Center, which offers specialties including geriatrics, cardiac rehabilitation and stroke care. Ypsilanti also has numerous local nursing homes. These long-term care facilities charge $9,733 per month on average, which is higher than the state and national averages, according to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
Nursing homes are best for older adults who require daily personal care assistance and 24/7 medical monitoring. Upon admission, seniors receive individual care plans that include services such as medication administration and wound care. Older adults who don't require constant medical supervision may be better served by home care or assisted living, which are less medically intensive and generally cheaper than nursing home care.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Ypsilanti, 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.
