The average cost for a semiprivate room in an Erie nursing home is $9,186 per month. For a private room, the average monthly cost is $9,885.
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.
At $9,186 per month for a semiprivate room and $9,885 per month for a private room, nursing homes are the most expensive type of senior care in Erie. Assisted living facilities are significantly cheaper, $4,315 per month, because residents don’t require as high a level of care. Seniors pay less for assisted living than they would for 40 hours a week of home care or home health care, which each cost an estimated $4,767 per month. Seniors who need some type of supervision or care during the day can take advantage of adult day health care, which has an average monthly cost of just $737.

The following table lists free resources in Erie that can make life easier for seniors in and out of nursing facilities. These resources are provided by public and private organizations.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Pennsylvania’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (717) 783-8975 | The ombudsman program is responsible for addressing reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation that occur in Erie's nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Seniors and anyone involved in their care can submit a report. This program relies on volunteers who are trained to resolve issues and advocate for older adults at the local, state and federal level. The Department of Aging also offers the Pennsylvania Empowered Expert Residents (PEERs) program, which trains residents in long-term care to push for quality-of-life improvements. |
| Greater Erie Community Action Committee | (814) 459-4581 | The area agency on aging that serves seniors in Erie County is known as the Greater Erie Community Action Committee (GECAC). This agency offers more than a dozen distinct programs designed to improve life for Erie's seniors, including Medicare counseling, caregiver support, Meals on Wheels and in-home services. For older adults who may need a nursing home, GECAC provides assessment services and nursing home transition support. Its senior advocate ensures that families are able to access the community resources they need. |
| Erie Vet Center | (814) 453-7955 | Veterans who qualify for a regular VA pension can use that money to pay for long-term care, including nursing homes. Vets who end up in nursing facilities may also qualify for Aid & Attendance benefits, which are designed to ease the financial burden of seniors who are disabled and require a high level of care. The Veterans Portal of Northwestern PA may help families access more resources that are helpful for senior veterans and their dependents. |
| Life NWPA | (844) 456-5433 | Seniors in Erie at risk for nursing home placement may be able to stay in their homes longer by getting help from Life NWPA. This nonprofit organization offers free services for adults who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. These services include medication management, skilled nursing, nutrition support, local transportation, therapy and on-call medical services. To benefit from these programs, seniors must be eligible for a nursing home level of care as certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. |
