Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Columbia, MO
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 in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible 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 any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
If a nursing home placement isn’t the correct placement at the moment for a loved one, it’s helpful to compare those prices to the cost of other kinds of elderly care in Columbia. Going with the Missouri state average, adult day health care is the cheapest at $1,788. After that, comparing costs in Columbia, the least expensive choice is an assisted living facility with an average monthly cost of $2,900. Home care and home health care both cost $4,576 per month on average. Nursing homes are not much more expensive than home care options, with a semiprivate room averaging just $364 a month more. A private room in a Columbia nursing home costs an average of $5,870 monthly, which is $1,294 more expensive than home care options and double the cost of assisted living.
