Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Salt Lake City, Utah
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.

Free Resources for Seniors in Salt Lake City, Utah
Resources that may help seniors pay for nursing home care or delay moving into a nursing facility are included in the list below. We’ve also mentioned programs that can help seniors resolve issues at their long-term care facility.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake County Aging & Adult Services | (385) 468-3200 | As the official Area Agency on Aging for Salt Lake County, the Aging & Adult Services division helps seniors access programs and services designed to help them stay healthy throughout their golden years. Seniors have access to Medicare counseling, a home-delivered meal program and homemaker services as well as free legal assistance and transportation for traveling to medical appointments. |
| Long Term Care Ombudsman | (385) 468-3255 | During a conflict at a nursing home, the Long Term Care Ombudsman is available to help seniors find solutions that serve their best interests. Complaints can be filed by long-term care facility residents or their family members. From a resident’s right to privacy and confidentiality to their right to complain and make independent choices, workers in the Ombudsman program are knowledgeable about the freedoms granted to seniors living in nursing homes. |
| Aging Waiver | (801) 538-3910 | Through the Aging Waiver, seniors may be able to put off a nursing facility by receiving the care and assistance they need at home. Depending on need, seniors may receive homemaker services, help with chores, nonmedical transportation and case management. It can also provide respite care in a nursing home, which could be an especially beneficial experience for seniors preparing to transition into a nursing facility. To enroll, seniors must be at least 65 years of age and meet Medicaid financial requirements. |
| Utah Department of Health Medicaid Division | (801) 536-8978 | The Utah Department of Health Medicaid Division is the best place for Salt Lake City’s low-income seniors to apply for government assistance. Workers at the agency help seniors understand how Medicaid covers long-term care, and they can advise of other potential benefits such as food or financial assistance. Additionally, seniors can apply for waiver programs that may help them delay moving into a nursing facility. |
