Youngstown is a city on the eastern edge of Ohio, where 11,326 residents are at least 65 years of age, representing 17.3% of its total population. The city has more doctors per capita than the national average, and its health care is relatively inexpensive. Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown is one of the most popular choices for medical care in the city, and it’s also part of the state’s largest hospital system. Compared to what seniors are paying across the country, Youngstown’s $7,300 median cost of nursing home care is quite affordable, though slightly over the statewide average.
Seniors whose medical conditions require 24-hour supervision are the best candidates for nursing home care. They’ll have continuous access to physicians and registered nurses and can receive a wide array of care services such as medication management, injections, wound care, diabetes management and assistance with activities of daily living. Seniors with less critical medical conditions may be better suited for home care or assisted living.
This guide provides an overview of senior care costs and mentions resources that may help seniors choose a nursing facility and pay for their care. Programs that could help seniors delay transitioning into a nursing home are also included.

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.
Here are several resources that could help seniors pay for nursing home care or delay moving into a nursing home by receiving in-home care services. Advocacy services for current and future nursing home residents are listed as well.
