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 Florida is about two points below the national average. The highest cost you will pay in this state is the cost of groceries, which are seven points above the national average. However, the housing and median home costs are below the average, though rent is higher. Florida's costs can depend on where you're retiring to; a country club in Miami will be a lot more than a small home in a small town. So do your research and see which area is appropriate for your budget. Then, make Florida your home. Florida's cost-of-living index is 97.9 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $215,300. Average rent runs about $1,175 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.
