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.
The average cost of personal care services depends on the type of care and the setting. In Alexandria, adult day health care is $1,744, which is the least expensive option. Home care costs $4,601 per month and home health care costs $4,767 per month, making them both around $7,000 cheaper than nursing home care. Assisted living facilities cost about $6,000 per month, which is $5,726 less than a semiprivate room in a nursing home. Additionally, a private room in a nursing home costs about $1,333 more than a semiprivate room.

In this section, seniors can find several community- and home-based resources to help them remain comfortable and safe in their homes. Some of these resources may help to delay the need for nursing care. Programs range from those that provide long-term care screenings to loans for low-income homeowners, which can be used to improve the level of safety and living conditions in the home.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Aging & Adult Services | (703) 746-5999 | Seniors can reach out to the city’s Division on Aging & Adult Services regarding financial aid programs. Along with providing information regarding long-term care facilities, family service specialists can help seniors compare local facilities to find the best match. The agency also educates seniors and loved ones about adult abuse protection, as well as nutrition and overall health. Typically appointed by the court, volunteer guardians can speak on behalf of incapacitated seniors in Alexandria. |
| Home Rehabilitation Loan Program | (703) 746-3091 | This program serves low-income homeowners in the Alexandria area by providing no-interest, deferred payment loans to help seniors age-in-place in the comfort of their own home. To be considered eligible, individuals must be below 80% of the area’s median income by family size. Funds can be used to improve the quality of the home, along with installed safety features. |
| Home & Community-Based Services | (800) 662-9333 | Administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, Home & Community-Based Services allows seniors to receive care in the comfort of their home rather than an institutional setting. The program is split into two categories: skilled care and in-home support. Skilled care provides care services by licensed professionals, including registered nurses and rehabilitation therapists. In-home support caregivers focus on housekeeping and meal preparation, as well as personal care and social work services. |
| Long-Term Care Screenings | (703) 746-5999 | Provided by the Division of Aging & Adult Services, Long-Term Care Screenings are available to seniors aged 60 and older to ensure they're placed in the appropriate type of long-term care facility. A family service specialist and public health nurse can assess whether seniors need home-based care or care from an assisted living facility or nursing home. To qualify, seniors must meet financial requirements by applying for Long-Term Care Medicaid for home-based care or nursing home care, or the Auxiliary Grant for assisted living facilities. |
