The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Hermitage, PA for 2024

Hermitage is a small community of 16,000 residents, over a quarter of whom are seniors, just a few miles east of the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. While this city doesn’t have a hospital, it’s conveniently located near major medical facilities, such as Edgewood Surgical Hospital in Transfer and Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital in Youngstown, OH. The city also has several high-quality nursing homes that provide around-the-clock support. With monthly care costs coming in at $7,543, Hermitage is among the most cost-effective places in the state and nation for this level of care.

Nursing homes, which are also called skilled nursing facilities, are residential facilities that accommodate older adults who have extensive care needs due to advanced age or a serious illness or injury. These facilities provide 24-hour skilled nursing services and monitoring, along with daily meals, housekeeping and personal care services. For seniors who only need personal care, assisted living or home care may offer the appropriate level of support for a lower monthly rate.

This guide provides information on nursing home care in Hermitage, including an overview of some programs that help seniors pay for care and resources that can assist them in navigating their options.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Hermitage, PA

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid:Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.

Review of Nugent's Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation

Don’t let your loved ones come here. The aids are not nice to the elderly. It smelled like urine down the hall and the patients are crammed 2 in a room for a 1 patient room. Sad!!
