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.
Many southern states have a low cost of living, and Mississippi is no exception. The cost of living is about 14 points below the national average, with every price being lower than the rest of the country. So if you're looking for a house, Mississippi is one of the best places to buy one, as its housing is 33.3 points lower than the national average, with the median home cost being much lower than the rest of the country. Even the rent is much cheaper compared to the national average. So if you want to retire in style, Mississippi is an affordable place for you to do so. Mississippi's cost-of-living index is 86.1 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $119,000. Average rent runs about $780 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.
