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.
Aging safely and independently is more convenient and achievable with services provided by government agencies and local nonprofits. Learn more about organizations that can help you find and pay for skilled nursing and long-term care in Medina and neighboring communities.
