The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Mount Vernon, NY for 2024

Situated within the suburbs of New York City, Mount Vernon has a bustling urban atmosphere and is close to major health care facilities such as NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Hospital — rated as one of America's best hospitals for cardiac care, surgeries and interventions. Mount Vernon's Montefiore Medical Center has been recognized for excellence in joint replacements, and the city's many other highly-regarded medical establishments can cater to just about any eventuality seniors may face.

Mount Vernon has many prominent nursing homes that provide quality care to frail seniors at an average cost of $12,471 per month. Nursing homes are facilities staffed by medical professionals such as licensed nurses, physicians, dietitians and therapists who provide round-the-clock skilled nursing, medical treatments and rehabilitative services. As these facilities are costly, families might prefer to look at home health care or assisted living services first, moving loved ones into nursing homes only if their health declines or as a short-term solution to manage recovery from surgeries or injuries.

The information in this guide can help seniors plan care in Mount Vernon based on expenses. Free and low-cost resources listed at the end can also help families learn more about nursing homes.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Mount Vernon, NY

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.
