Nursing home costs rise with tighter rules and staffing
Regulators push more training and reporting raising costs for nursing homes. A typical stay costs 25 000 to 30 000 dollars annually. About 5 percent of people over 65 use nursing home care, with almost 170 residents at Meridian. Labor shortages and competition with hospitals push costs higher. Long term care insurance is advised with careful policy review and awareness of terms like skilled and comprehensive care. Premiums vary from 30 to 60 dollars monthly by age.
