READ MORELocated in western Long Island, New York, Great Neck is a town of 11,145 people where 17.1% are seniors. The city’s crime rates are below national figures, and Great Neck has more than double the national average of physicians per capita. Additionally, New York’s fifth-best hospital, North Shore University Hospital at Northwell Health, is only minutes away in neighboring Manhasset.
In the city’s nursing homes, seniors are monitored 24/7 by registered nurses and physicians. Common care services at skilled nursing facilities include injections, wound care, diabetes management and assistance with medications. Considering that Great Neck’s $12,471 average monthly cost of nursing home care is more than 50% above the national average, seniors who don’t need such extensive care or supervision may want to look into assisted living or home care to save money and maintain more of their day-to-day independence.
This guide provides an overview of the cost of senior care and details a few programs designed to help seniors stay healthy while living at home or transition into nursing facilities.

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.
The resources below may help seniors maintain their health at home while they navigate their senior care options and secure financing for a long-term care community that meets their needs.
