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.
Many organizations offer services and support to help seniors in Charlotte stay in their own homes for longer, avoiding nursing home placement. Some of these organizations also help seniors to cope with common age-related conditions and to access benefits and other financial aid.
