Does your parent need a nursing home, but you’re not sure where to start or what to consider? There are a gazillion questions that pop up when the time to consider long-term, residential nursing care is imminent. First, you want the best care possible for your parents, but maybe you are unable to provide that care yourself. You must still work for a living or care for small children or…the list goes on. So, that makes long-term residential care the best option when your aging parent is unable to care for himself or herself. However, there are also several other concerns that come with the decision as well, including cost and how you or your parent will pay for care.
Not all insurance plans cover long-term, residential nursing care and the ones that do often carry strict guidelines for coverage. The cost of residential nursing care can average between $8,000 to $10,000 and sometimes more. It’s a hefty sum even for those with deep wallets and might seem impossible others. Still, there are ways to cover the costs without breaking the bank or liquidating your or your parent’s assets. The good news: help is available with an elder care attorney by your side.
