Sylvania is a small city in the western suburbs of Toledo, along the border between Ohio and Michigan. Home to just under 20,000 people, more than 21% of Sylvania’s residents are seniors aged 65 and over. Multiple hospitals and medical centers serve this large senior population, such as ProMedica Flower Hospital and Regency Toledo, which have senior health programs and accept Medicare. Semiprivate rooms in Sylvania’s skilled nursing facilities cost an average of $7,057 a month, which is lower than the state and national averages for the same level of care, according to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey.
Nursing homes provide 24/7 supervision and nursing care for residents with advanced therapeutic and medical needs. Common features of nursing homes include registered nurses on staff and nursing aides who can assist with medications and medical procedures prescribed by a doctor. This level of care tends to cost more than less-intensive senior living arrangements. Seniors with minimal need for medical care might find either assisted living or home health care more affordable and appropriate.
This guide covers the costs of different care types in more detail. It also lists resources to support Sylvania’s seniors.

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.
Several resources are available to Sylvania’s seniors that can help support them at home. This may help delay the transition to nursing home care, helping them to remain comfortable in their own homes for longer.
