Nursing homes in Fargo charge $10,942 per month for a semiprivate room and $11,110 per month for a private room, according to Genworth Financial.
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.
With average respective rates of $10,942 and $11,110 for private and semiprivate accommodations, nursing home care in Fargo costs more than twice as much as home care ($5,148) and home health care services ($5,240). Assisted living costs approximately $6,300 less at $4,623 per month, which is close to the U.S. median. Adult day care programs, which provide daytime supports in a group setting, cost just $1,040 per month, but this option isn’t suitable for individuals who require 24-hour care or have advanced medical needs.
