Palliative home care focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses by providing comfort, symptom management, and emotional support in their own homes. This approach includes personalized care plans, regular assessments, and resources for family caregivers, all while prioritizing person-centered treatment that aligns with patients' goals.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) provide high-level medical care and rehabilitation for short-term recovery, typically covered by Medicare after hospitalization, while nursing homes focus on ongoing custodial care for chronic conditions, mainly funded by Medicaid or private payments. The staffing and regulatory structures differ significantly between the two, necessitating clarity for families in choosing appropriate long-term care options.
Nursing home care costs in the U.S. vary significantly based on location, level of care, and amenities, with private room prices ranging from approximately $6,700 to over $30,000 monthly. Families need to explore various payment options and conduct thorough research to manage these expenses effectively.
