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!!

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.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Nursing home rates in Hermitage are high relative to other types of senior care, with residents in semi-private rooms paying $7,543 and those with private accommodations paying about 12% more. Assisted living, which also has a residential setting but primarily offers nonmedical personal care, is considerably more budget-friendly at $4,738 and may be an affordable alternative for those without extensive medical needs. Seniors who obtain care in their own homes pay $4,290 for in-home care and skilled home health care, and those who attend adult day health care pay an average monthly fee of $1,842.
