Nursing home prices in Harrisburg start at $10,311 for a semiprivate room and rise to $10,874 for private accommodations.
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.
With rates between $10,311 and $10,874 for semiprivate or private accommodations, skilled nursing is the most expensive form of long-term care in Harrisburg by a significant margin. Assisted living facilities cost half as much at $4,857. Home health care agencies charge slightly less. In general, Harrisburg residents can expect to pay anywhere from $4,528 to $4,576 for in-home care depending on the services provided. Adult day health care costs $1,018 per month and provides limited personal support rather than around-the-clock assistance.
