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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.

Review of Rose Mountain Care Center
This place is always dirty. Infested with roaches and mice, smelly, cold/stale food. It needs to be shut down! Staff is unprofessional and do not care about residents.
