COST OF NURSING HOME CARE
Hitz Home is a great value. There is a homey atmosphere and caring staff who provide great care. As of July 1, 2008 a stay in the nursing home will run approximately $125 per day for rooms with three beds, $129 per day for rooms with two beds, and $149 per day for a private room. The average room rate is $134 per day which averages $5.58 per hour. The average annual cost of a nursing home stay is $74,806, in Illinois it is $50,469; while the average cost of a nursing home stay per year at Hitz Home is $46,355.
What a bargain! The home is certified Medicaid and Medicare. Our census ran 96% last year. This compares favorably to the State average of 84%.
Medicare will pay for certain qualified skilled services for up to 100 days per spell of illness. Services may be covered under Part A or Part B. Hitz will provide assistance with billing your Medicare supplement, if needed.
Hitz is a not-for-profit home and is dedicated to meeting the needs of the elderly. When a resident has no assets to pay for nursing home services, help will be provided to apply to the State of Illinois for Medicaid.
Nursing Home insurance and Hospice referrals welcomed. |
