Nursing home care is a long-term care solution for seniors with chronic illnesses and those that are very frail and need constant assistance.

This type of care is generally expensive and seniors in Greensboro may want to look at alternative care options such as assisted living and home care services.
This guide looks at the average monthly costs of nursing home care in Greensboro and surrounding cities as well as the costs of alternative care options.

This is the ONLY place residents receive more than 2 days of rehab. My loved one was back on her feet in no time. Staff was stretched but took care of my loved one’s needs.

Stopped by seeking admission information for our elderly father. Called first, but calls went unreturned. Then finally got a response asking to call back. We decided to drop by to talk in person. We were told that the admissions director was not in her office, After a few minutes, we could clearly see that she was. After going into her office and asking if she was the admissions director, We got the impression that our presence was some how not wanted. Not really sure why. Hope it wasn’t race related. Also hope that race does not play a role in the admission process. If so, it would degrade the whole Quaker aspect of the facility.

PRO’s: Excellent Physical Therapy
A few hidden gems among the staff
CON’s: No one answered the call button my first night there…no bathroom assistance…no medication…no nothing. And I could not walk.
I had to throw things out my door and into the hall to get their attention. Once I had it I requested immediate discharge…the Director, Assistant Director, and another VIP person talked me into staying and gave me their personal numbers which ended up being a saving grace.

My friend was in Accordius Health at Greensboro for rehab. I would not put a dog in that place. Some of the people like the administrators and some of the nurses were very nice. Some of the people there, you could tell they were there for a paycheck. It’s an old facility. The sink was almost pulled off the wall in my friend’s room. She had physical therapy, but they only had one physical therapist there for all of these people. They did have some occupational therapists. My friend ran into a problem with one of the physical therapists, and he was only twenty eight. She’s 82. There was a big age difference there. He did not give respect to older women that she thought they deserved. I hate to even say this because I really did like some of the people I met and talked to, but that place has a long way to go before I would ever put somebody else back in there.

The facility was clean, they had friendly staff and they appeared to be concerned with their residents. The facility provided various activities for residents who were able to participate. There were events such as game night and movie nights that allowed residents to be able to get out of their rooms and mingle with other residents. Each hallway had a cute name such as "Robin Way", which made the place feel like home. Instead of just having a room number, they had "street" to go to. The staff seemed to be knowledgeable and the residents seemed to like them. They treated residents with care and respect. Since most of the residents are elderly, it was nice to see them give respect. They called patients Ms. Or Mr. and their names. Even though many of the residents are older and sometimes rude, staff knew how to deal with it properly. It was nice to see the staff attempt to make the facility feel like a home away from home for their clients.

They are irresponsible, incompetent, rude, doesn’t have your love one best interest at all. Brother In law been in this facility for two weeks and he still have no phone in his room. There is no communication, no updates on the patient status, you call this facility for help and you get nothing in return. The staff will answer the phone and then leave you on hold for a very long time (45 minutes) to be exact without the courtesy of picking the phone up and let you know that they are still working on your problem. They have no customer experience, it is evident that the customer/ patient isn’t their best interest. I can only imagine what the patient must go through on a daily basis with the attitude this nursing home shows their customer. It is a embarrassment to have my brother in law in the facility, do yourself a favor and find another caring nursing home that will look out for your love one and will put your love one at the top of their priority list. This is unacceptable and a disgrace to patients who needs care to be place in this home.

She was mostly in Independent Living quarters for about 8 years before health necessitated her moving to the nursing facility there for a relatively short period of time. The people working there are not only very capable, but they are also extremely caring and pay attention to their residents. I have had other friends in residence here both in Independent Living as well as Assisted Living. ALL have been extremely positive about their experience here.

I know they brought them magazines to look at. As far as the activities room, I don’t know what kind of things they do. I know they have music and that’s all I know. I haven’t been here long enough. There’s a library, a cafeteria, and I’m sure that’s where the activities take place, too, and I’m in the courtyard now. There are a lot of benches and a gazebo with a table and chairs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Greensboro, North Carolina
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 in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible 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 any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
