Assisted Living Costs in Rome

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The cost of senior care is based on the location and level of care provided. In Rome, a semiprivate room with nursing home care costs an average of $6,000 per month because it provides around-the-clock&nbsp;skilled nursing for seniors who often have complex medical needs. Assisted living, which is geared towards seniors who are able to manage their own medications and personal care, costs an average of $3,200 per month.&nbsp; For 44 hours of care each week, hiring a homemaker costs $3,623 while a home health aide costs $3,766 per month. Unlike residential care services, such as assisted living, in-home care costs don’t include day-to-day living expenses, such as home upkeep, property taxes and groceries.&nbsp;

<li>Be legally blind, or</li>
<li>Reside in a nursing facility, or</li>

<li>Have one permanent disability rated at 100% and at least one additional disability rating at 60% or greater</li>

<li>Physician services</li>
<li>Inpatient and outpatient hospitalization</li>
<li>Transportation to Medicaid-funded health care</li>
<li>Nursing facility care</li>
<li>Home health services</li>
</ul> Each state may offer optional Medicaid benefits through special programs and waivers. These additional benefits may&nbsp;include:&nbsp; <ul>
<li>Prosthetics</li>
<li>Prescription drug coverage</li>
<li>Occupational, physical and speech therapy</li>

</ul> Some specific assets are excluded from the asset limits, such as a prepaid burial contract, a personal vehicle and an owner-occupied residence valued at no more than $585,000.&nbsp; Spousal Income and Asset Limits When only one spouse in a married couple needs Medicaid, special income and asset rules apply to protect the community spouse (non-applicant) against impoverishment.&nbsp; Under the community spouse resource allowance rule, they are entitled to half of the couple’s joint assets worth up to $126,420. This amount is in addition to the value of all exempt assets.&nbsp; If the community spouse relies on income from the applicant to cover shelter costs, the applicant can transfer income to the&nbsp;non-applicant spouse under the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance rule. This rule lets the applicant increase the income of the community spouse up to $3,160.50 per month, and any money transferred under the MMMNA&nbsp;is deducted from the declared income on the Medicaid application.&nbsp; To apply for Medicaid, seniors can complete an online application through&nbsp;<a href="https://gateway.ga.gov/access/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://gateway.ga.gov/access/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Georgia Gateway</a>&nbsp;or call the online services hotline at (877) 423-4746.
