The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Farmington, MO for 2024

Adjacent to the beautiful Ozark Mountains, Farmington is a small city of 18,143 residents, 18.1% of whom are aged 65 and older. Farmington’s seniors have access to quality medical care at Parkland Health Center and several high-performing hospitals in St. Louis, located within an hour’s drive to the north. Farmington’s low cost of living is reflected in nursing home costs of $5,232 per month, according to Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey data, which are more affordable than national rates.

Nursing home care is an excellent option for seniors who cannot live safely at home and need 24/7 supervision. At a nursing home facility, highly trained aides and skilled nurses provide personal care, rehabilitation therapies and medical monitoring. Other long-term care options, such as assisted living and home health care, may be more appropriate for seniors who need personal care support but do not need high levels of medical supervision.

This guide provides information for seniors considering nursing home care in Farmington, including cost comparisons of nursing home care in nearby areas and other long-term care options. Also included is a list of agencies that help seniors and their families make long-term care decisions and find financial support.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Farmington, 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, 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.
