The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Middletown, OH for 2024

Middletown is located about 35 miles from Cincinnati in the southwestern region of Ohio and is home to a large senior community that accounts for 17% of the city’s 51,000 residents. It has a high-performing hospital, Atrium Medical Center, and health care costs in this city are relatively affordable at 14% below national norms.

The Middletown region has several nursing homes to meet the needs of seniors who are unable to care for themselves. These residential facilities provide 24-hour medical supervision and care and have licensed staff members who administer rehabilitative therapies, medications and personal care. Because of the intensive level of care nursing homes provide, this is a costly long-term care option. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, Middletown seniors pay monthly rates of $8,091. Assisted living and home care may be more affordable and appropriate for those with lesser care needs.

Through this guide, readers can find more details about nursing home care in Middletown, including how local care costs compare to rates in nearby cities and options seniors may have for paying for services. The guide also includes a resource list of agencies and programs in the region that serve older adults.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Middletown, 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.
