CARING FOR A SENIOR RESOURCE
When a loved one becomes disabled or chronically ill and requires around-the-clock care, helping them transition to a nursing home may be the best choice. Nearly 16% of Virginia’s population is aged 65 and above, with 19,550 of those living in nursing homes across the state. In this type of setting, seniors receive personal care and skilled nursing services, such as medication administration and management of long-term conditions. Room and board, meals and recreational activities are typically included in the cost of nursing home care. In Virginia, a shared semiprivate room at a nursing home costs about $7,665 per month; seniors who’d prefer a private room can expect to pay $8,821.
In this guide, we explore the cost of nursing home care in Virginia and describe a number of resources, programs and waivers that can help families pay for the care seniors need.
