The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Lebanon, PA for 2024

Lebanon is a medium-sized city located in central Pennsylvania, just 45 minutes east of the state capital and an hour north of Lancaster. Of its nearly 26,500 residents, 14.4% are over 65 years old. It’s home to the Lebanon VA Medical Center, one of only seven hospitals in the state serving veterans and their eligible dependents. Seniors also have access to the Wellspan Good Samaritan Hospital, as well as nearby medical centers, including the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Hospital and Lancaster General Hospital.

Nursing home services are ideal for older adults who require 24/7 skilled nursing monitoring. These communities often provide specialty services, including medication management, physical therapy and disease control support, such as diabetes care. According to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey, the average monthly cost for nursing home services in Lebanon is $10,494 per month. Seniors who don’t require around-the-clock care but still need limited support may consider less intensive options, such as in-home care or assisted living services.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Lebanon, 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.
