According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of a semiprivate room in nursing home care in High Point is $7,695 which is similar to the national median of $7,756. This makes High Point an attractive option for seniors looking for nursing home care facilities.

Nursing home care provides round-the-clock medical care and supervision to seniors who are frail or have chronic illnesses that require a high level of assistance. This care is administered by registered nurses and certified caregivers and, as a result, it is often the most expensive option offered. Seniors who don’t require this level of care may want to consider more affordable alternatives, such as assisted living and home care services.

This guide gives an overview of the cost of nursing home care and alternative options in High Point. Additionally, it lists free resources and services for seniors.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in High Point, NC

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.
