Skilled nursing is the most expensive senior-care setting. Medicare pays for short-term skilled nursing (up to 100 days) after a qualifying hospital stay, with cost-sharing after day 20. Long-term stays are usually paid by Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or private pay; most long-stay residents end up on Medicaid after spending down their savings.
The cost of living in Colorado is slightly above the national average overall. One of its most notable differences is its housing costs, nearly 17 points above the national average. The median home cost can be more expensive as well. However, if you spend a lot on utilities, you're in luck. The price for utilities is over 12% below the national average. Another place where Colorado is good is in the grocery department. While it's only .01% less than the national average, its groceries are slightly less overall, and there are many places where you can buy fresh, healthy foods. Colorado's cost-of-living index is 105.6 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $343,300. Average rent runs about $1,271 a month.
Skilled nursing fits seniors who need 24-hour licensed medical care, short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or active treatment for conditions assisted living can't safely manage. It is not the right level of care for someone who's mostly independent - that's assisted living or independent living. Many families use skilled nursing only as a final stage, or for short-term rehab.
