The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Lynnwood, WA for 2024

Lynnwood is part of the Seattle metropolitan area, putting residents within driving distance of highly rated hospitals such as Harborview Medical Center and Virginia Mason. Nearly 17% of the city's population is 65 and older, and these seniors can benefit from the area's relatively low health care prices as well as access to numerous nursing homes.

Nursing homes provide a safe and supportive environment for older adults who need 24/7 medical monitoring. These facilities staff medical experts and trained caregivers to ensure residents' needs are met, including services such as IV management, bathing assistance and rehabilitative therapies. The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey reports that nursing homes in Lynnwood cost $10,479 per month for a semi private room, on average, which is more than Washington's statewide norm of $9,429. Older adults who don't need intensive medical support may opt for assisted living or home care, both of which are cheaper on average and provide lower-level personal care for semi-independent seniors.

Throughout this guide, seniors and their families will learn more about nursing home care in Lynnwood, including how local care prices compare to neighboring areas. The guide will also help readers understand ways to pay for care.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Lynnwood, WA

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, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those who need long-term care will have to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the cost of living expenses in a skilled nursing facility for qualifying seniors. Care and room and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras such as specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility requirements are strict and complex, so not all seniors qualify 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 local financial assistance programs for seniors.
