READ MOREChesterfield is a St. Louis suburb with a senior population of around 12,000, accounting for nearly a quarter of the city’s 50,000 residents. Its violent crime rate is nearly half the national average, and in addition to having one of the top five best hospitals in the state, St. Luke’s Hospital Chesterfield, the city has 396 physicians per capita, well above the national average of 210.
Out of all the different types of senior care, nursing homes offer the widest array of care services with physicians and registered nurses on-site around the clock monitoring vital signs, assisting with medications and performing other skilled nursing procedures. Many facilities also offer physical and occupational therapy. Since the average cost of nursing home care in Chesterfield, $5,355 a month, is higher than most cities in Missouri, seniors who don’t need constant medical supervision may find that assisted living or home care allows more freedom and saves money.
The guide provides an overview of senior care costs and at the end, it lists several programs that may help seniors find their ideal nursing home and pay for the care. Seniors who want to remain in their homes longer can also learn about resources providing in-home care.

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.
Through the following resources, seniors can receive assistance learning about nursing facilities near their home and different options to pay for care. Some programs also offer in-home services, often enabling seniors to remain living in their homes for more time.
Resource | Contact | Service |
---|---|---|
Missouri Department of Social Services | (855) 373-4636 | From the Temporary Assistance program and its short-term cash relief to food assistance and MO HealthNet, the state's Medicaid Program, the Missouri DSS can assist seniors with matters related to a variety of government assistance programs. Workers at the agency can explain guidelines for nursing home care coverage and the Supplemental Nursing Care Program as well as handle paperwork for Medicaid appeals and denials. At the DSS, seniors can also apply for home and community-based services that could help delay nursing home placement. |
