The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Pickerington, OH for 2024

As one of Columbus' outermost suburbs, the small city of Pickerington, OH, offers residents a safe, green place to live while being only 10 miles from the big city via I-70. Just over 24,500 people live in the area, with a healthy annual growth rate of 6.2% and around 2,500 seniors. Pickerington's violent crime rate is less than half the nation's rate and approximately one-third of the state's rate. The safe, peaceful surroundings make Pickerington a slightly less affordable area. However, medical costs remain relatively low, the clean air may provide additional health benefits and there are over two dozen hospitals and medical centers within a 50-mile radius.

Nursing homes offer the most comprehensive medical care for seniors, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation and psychiatry, and they cost an average of $7,490 per month in Pickerington. More active seniors who need light medical assistance may prefer home health care instead, while those requiring nonmedical assistance with daily tasks can consider assisted living.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Pickerington, 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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
