A semiprivate room in a Providence nursing home costs, on average, $9,733 per month, while seniors who prefer private rooms typically pay $10,646.
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.
Comparing the costs of other forms of care can be useful as seniors may transition through care levels as they age. The most affordable option is adult day care, which typically costs $1,636 for care during normal working hours. Assisted living, at $4,950, is a good option for seniors who can live independently but prefer to have help nearby. Seniors at home can get home care for $5,529 per month and home health care for $5,815. In nursing homes, semiprivate rooms are typically $9,733, while private rooms cost $10,646.

Providence has a wealth of resources for seniors who are able to remain at home with support and those living in nursing homes. The following provides examples of some of those resources, some of which may help with costs and others with daily living support.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Transportation | (401) 462-3000 | The Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging provides several options to help seniors in Providence get around for free or at a reduced cost. These include the Elderly Transportation Program (ETP), a curb-to-curb service for adults aged 60 and over who don’t have access to transportation. There is also the Reduced Fare Bus Program for the 65+ age group on low incomes, and a free non-emergency transportation system to take adults aged 60 and over to their medical appointments. |
| Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Assistance to Elders (RIPAE) | (401) 462-0560 | RIPAE is a plan that contributes to the costs of approved medications for adults aged 65 and over during the Deductible stage of their Medicare Plan D plans. There are three levels to the program, each providing varying degrees of support based on the individual’s level of income. A fourth level of the plan assists adults younger than 65. |
| State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) | (888) 884-8721 | SHIP is a state-sponsored program that aids seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries and those who are preparing to apply for health care insurance. The program’s counselors can clearly explain Medicare and its associated plans, such as Medicare Advantage, and provide unbiased information to help seniors make educated choices. The counselors can also assist low-income seniors who may be eligible for Medicaid. |
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance | (800) 827-1000 | U.S. military veterans in nursing homes, or preparing to enter one, can apply for VA Aid and Attendance benefits to help pay the costs of their accommodation. The monthly payment is also available to the surviving spouses of veterans. Vets still living at home can apply for the Housebound Allowance to meet some of their home care costs. |
| Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island | (401) 351-6700 | Homebound adults aged 60 and over can apply for weekday meal deliveries. They come in two packs, with the meal sealed in a container that can be reheated in a microwave. The second is a pack containing milk, bread and a dessert. The suggested donation is $3, although seniors unable to pay are not refused. |
