What’s the Difference Between Assisted Living and Nursing Home Care, and which is Less Expensive?
|
Q. We are currently caring for my mother-in-law, Margaret, in our home. We enjoy having her with us, but as her needs keep becoming greater, we find that she may need more support than we can provide.
I have read that when a senior has a progressive medical condition or serious health needs, assisted living or a nursing home may be the best option. I’m confused though. What is the difference between the two options? How can I decide which would be better for her? Does Medicaid cover assisted living and nursing homes, if she qualifies? Thanks for your help!
