Find Care & Housing
We aren't a skilled nursing home. I would ask the institution involved what they charge for things. Ask them also how you make payment to them. Good luck.
This is merely a Forum of caregivers from around the world, so I think we can't know costs you are asking for.

jayps161, welcome to the forum. When my Mom was in a nursing home, that place just had one monthly fee. Others may do the same, or have a menu of options.


When my Dad was living in Independent Living facility, there was a monthly rent that included a lot of different things. When the time came when Dad needed help remembering to take his meds, the facility had a Tech Med who could come see Dad twice a day and handed him the pills he needed at that time. This was an "option" thus an added fee to his monthly rent.


My Dad was self-pay, I would get the monthly bill, and pay for it out of Dad's bank account. I was Dad financial Power of Attorney, and co-signer on his checks. Some facilities may pull from a person's bank account directly when it is set up.

Nursing homes are longterm care. You usually pay privately or your on Medicaid. My Mom was on Medicaid. She paid for none of her toiletries or Depends. Going in she had enough clothes I did not have to purchase any. Out of her SS the NH was given, she received $50 a month in a Personal Needs acct. This could be used for her personally. If I wanted Mom to have anything the NH did not supply, I would have purchased it. The NH should have a list of what they supply.

Assisted livings and Memory cares are private pay. Medicaid usually does not pay for these. Its like living in an apartment, other than the meals and snacks you are responsible for everything else.
