Making the decision to transition to a nursing home can be a tough one, full of uncertainties and fears. There's many questions you probably have about financials and resources, just to name a few.
I'm so glad that Caring.com has made a really great guide to make this process much easier. This guide offers an in-depth look at the costs and assistance programs available for nursing home care in Louisiana, along with information about other resources that may be helpful to those seeking to delay nursing home placement:
In Louisiana, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the senior population at 15.9% of all residents or nearly 740,000 seniors. The Department of Health and Human Services recently published a study that notes that 70% of seniors will need some form of long-term support service at some point.
Nursing home care is the highest tier of care available and offers health care and other services around the clock. A nursing home is often the long-term care option of choice for seniors who need temporary rehabilitation services that might be difficult to deliver at home or assistance managing chronic illnesses for frail seniors who need regular visits from nurses and other health care providers.
