Review of Legend Healthcare and Rehabilitation - Paris
Late night care was sparse if at all. I laid in bed on more than one occasion needing help for more than 4 hours and no one came or answered the nurses bell.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Paris, TX
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 in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible 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 any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Seniors might be able to take advantage of other types of care to make budgeting easier if they don’t need regular medical treatments. Assisted living can be an ideal option, offering savings of up to $1,700 monthly, while home care can provide housekeeping and personal assistance at $4,767 without the need to move. Home health care typically costs the same $4,767 monthly rate but includes medical treatments and monitoring provided by licensed nurses.
