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.
Nursing home care tends to be the most expensive senior care option. This is mainly due to the medical care provided to residents. Seniors who don’t require this level of care may wish to consider in-home care or home health care. Both options average $5,625 per month in Cheyenne and assist people living in the home. Assisted living costs are slightly lower at $5,538 per month.
