The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Sylvania, OH for 2024

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.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Sylvania, 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.
