Gateway to America’s majestic Northwest region, Spokane has an estimated 552,798 residents. Adults ages 65 and older make up 16.6% of the population.

MultiCare Deaconess Hospital and Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center feature some of Spokane’s leading physicians and specialists. The Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center serves the city’s veterans with high-quality care.
Nursing homes are for aging individuals who require 24-hour care due to inadequate support at home or physical or cognitive decline. Services vary among facilities, but they typically include skilled nursing care, intravenous therapy, breathing treatments, social programs and nutritional counseling. Such extensive care makes nursing homes more expensive than other senior living arrangements. Spokane has a monthly average of $10,615 compared to the national average of $7,756 for a semiprivate room, according to the Genworth Financial 2020 Cost of Care Survey. Individuals who do not need this level of support may meet their needs more affordably with home health care or assisted living.
This guide details the costs of different types of senior care in Spokane. It also describes some local resources to aid seniors and their families.

I liked the attitude of the nurses and the manager/director in Rockwood. I liked the one hall with only 20 bed units, and it’s big enough to move her furniture in there, which would help. It was very adequate, and everybody’s got their own windows that look out into a nice, landscaped area. It smelled clean. They’ve got activities. You could go on the bus from Rockwood or drive. It is approximately a quarter of a mile from where my mom lived for 50 years.

My mother recently had a HORRIFIC experience at Touchmark. She was placed in their rehab dept. In 16 days her condition fell dramatically. We saw her and sent her to the emergency hospital immediately upon her release from Touchmark. Her kidneys were failing, she was dehydrated, low blood pressure, lost weight, vomiting. IT WAS horrific what they did to her. Once at the hospital her condition improved dramatically.
After three days at the hospital she is doing GREAT at another rehab center. Touchmark also dropped my mothers hearing aids in water while there. They also sent her to a doctors appt. in a wheelchair without foot pedals. Tramadol was given to my mother against her wishes as well. The overall experience was the worst and I would not send my loved ones to this terrible place!
All the while their nurses said how great she was while staying there. Do not trust this place. They hide behind the wall of the coronavirus.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Spokane, Washington
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.
