Review of Briarwood The
The Briarwood seems very good, and my sister is very happy there. She loves it. She's happy with the food, too. She said they're warm and if you don't like the main dish, you can get hamburgers...

Review of Altercare of Western Reserve
Theses folks are all about the money. They accept the patient without knowing the extent of his needs and then realize they may not be equipped to care for them. They checked with a sister...

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Stow
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.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Seniors in Stow have more affordable options than nursing homes for long-term care, depending on their needs. Those requiring comprehensive care pay around $8,000 monthly for semi-private rooms and $9,193 for private rooms in a nursing home. Seniors who prefer to remain in their homes pay almost half as much, at $4,052 for in-home care, offering assistance with daily living tasks, and $4,099 for home health care, which provides skilled medical care. At over $6,000 less, adult day health care gives seniors a safe place during daytime hours to receive medical care and join in activities, while those who prefer independent living can choose assisted living for about $3,000 less per month than nursing home care.
