Ogden is a large community of about 87,000 people in northern Utah. It has a low cost of living compared to the rest of the state, and local resources such as the Area Agency on Aging promote access to senior services such as medical transportation and in-home care. Two hospitals, McKay Dee Hospital and Ogden Regional Medical Center, accommodate a wide range of medical needs, and there are several high-quality nursing homes. On average, seniors in Ogden pay $7,604 per month for nursing home care, which is hundreds of dollars below the national norm.
Nursing homes are for seniors who need personal care along with around-the-clock medical care and supervision. Residents receive services such as medication administration, rehabilitative therapies and disease monitoring and management, along with meal services and help with daily activities. For those seeking less intensive care, home care or assisted living may be good alternatives.
Through this guide, those considering nursing home care in Ogden can obtain information on common ways to pay for services. The guide also highlights agencies and services for seniors considering local long-term care options.

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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
