On the monthly basis, seniors in Springfield spend $5,171 for a semiprivate room in a nursing home and $5,931 for a private room.
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.
Although Springfield’s cost of nursing home care is affordable compared to the rest of the country, it’s still the city’s most expensive type of care. For both in-home care and home health care, seniors spend around $4,290 per month, which is 17% less than the cheapest nursing home option. Assisted living and adult day health care in Springfield are even more budget-friendly, with most older adults paying about $3,100 and $1,788 a month, respectively. When a nursing home is the only viable option, most seniors can save around $760 a month by opting for a semiprivate room over private accommodations.
