With around 4,309 of its 24,765 residents over the age of 65, Zanesville has more seniors than the majority of the country. Genesis Hospital is the city’s primary medical center, and while residents tend to pay a bit more for health services, Zanesville’s overall cost of living is below state and national averages.
When hospitalization isn’t required but other care options aren’t quite enough, a nursing home is often the best option. Medication management, rehabilitative services, skilled nursing and wound care are typically offered at these facilities, which provide continuous medical supervision from licensed nurses and physicians in addition to the care team. Considering that Zanesville’s $7,490 median cost of nursing home care is higher than the statewide average, some seniors may be able to save money by choosing assisted living or home care instead, as long as the care is sufficient.
This guide compares the cost of nursing home care to other types of senior care in and around Zanesville. At the end, we’ll briefly describe a few resources that could help seniors preparing to move into a nursing home or still living at home. Programs and organizations that provide financial assistance, benefits counseling and in-home services are included.
