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.
New Jersey is a pricey state to live in, with the national average being over 25 points more than the rest of the country. In every area, New Jersey costs more. In most cases, it's only slightly more than the national average, but one area where that's not true is the cost of housing. Expect to pay 37 points more than the average, with the median home cost and rent expensive. However, many find the costs worth it, and with a bit of luck, you could find a good home in New Jersey that's much less than the national average. New Jersey's cost-of-living index is 125.1 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $335,600. Average rent runs about $1,334 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.
