Dublin is a suburb of Columbus and is home to nearly 50,000 residents, about 12% of whom are aged 65 and over. It’s located near some of the state’s top-performing hospitals, including Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, providing high access to geriatric care. The city also has economically priced nursing home care, with the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey showing that local seniors pay $6,996 for semiprivate rooms. 

Dublin is also home to several high-quality nursing homes where older adults obtain comprehensive medical and personal care services. These facilities are staffed with licensed care teams that provide 24-hour monitoring along with services such as catheter care, disease management, wound care and medication administration. For those who only require personal care or limited skilled nursing services, assisted living or in-home care may be more appropriate and affordable. 

This guide outlines nursing home rates in Dublin and how they compare to fees in other cities as well as to local senior care alternatives. It also lists some local resources available to older adults.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Dublin, OH

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.
