- Paying privately: ask the home for its daily rate, what it includes and how often it rises. What nursing homes typically cost →
- Medicaid: this home is certified for Medicaid, which pays for most long-term care once savings run low. Ask whether a Medicaid bed is available. Medicaid rules in Illinois →
Medicare amounts from Medicare.gov. Prices vary with room type and care needs, so always confirm with the home.
