READ MOREWith an average rate of just $3,150 per month, seniors in New Castle pay significantly less for assisted living than their counterparts across the state ($3,750) and country ($4,000). The cost savings are also notable in comparison to other cities in Western Pennsylvania, such as Altoona ($3,765), State College ($3,818), Harrisburg ($4,418) and Chambersburg ($4,550). Only two cities in the region offer more affordable assisted living; Gettysburg ($3,100) and Johnstown, where the average monthly price is $3,036.
Note: Data for senior care costs in New Castle wasn’t included in the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care survey, so data for the nearby city of Pittsburgh was used instead.
Compared to other types of senior care, assisted living is one of the most affordable options in New Castle. Nursing homes charge over $5,500 more per month on average. The 24-hour skilled nursing and other extra care services provided by these facilities explain this drastic price difference. The average rate for homemaker and home health aide services provided in seniors’ own homes is about $1,300 higher than the price for assisted living. A comparison of what’s covered in the rates reveals that the true price difference is much greater. Rates for in-home care only cover actual service hours, whereas assisted living generally includes housing and meals. Seniors staying at home have to pay household operating expenses on top of the cost of care services.
Americans who can’t afford standard health insurance may be eligible for coverage through Medicaid. This national, government-funded program provides essential health care services to economically vulnerable families with dependent children, pregnant women, disabled adults and the elderly.
The Pennsylvania program, called Medical Assistance, serves roughly one-fifth of the state population, which includes over 900,000 seniors and disabled adults. Eligible New Castle residents can receive a variety of benefits through MA, including:
Domiciliary Care Program
Seniors who can no longer live independently without assistance and have no family support may be eligible for the Domiciliary Care program. To qualify for this state-funded plan, seniors must meet the eligibility guidelines for SSI benefits and be willing to reside in a certified DOM care private home along with their care provider’s family. In addition to accommodations, the DOM Care program provides meals, assistance with personal care, medication supervision, housekeeping, laundry, transportation and recreational and social activities.
The local Area Agency on Aging provides needs assessment and placement services along with ongoing case management and wellness checks for approved participants.
For more information about the DOM Care program or to apply, New Castle seniors can contact the Lawrence County Area Agency on Aging at (724) 658-3729.
Optional State Supplementation
Seniors with limited income and assets who qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits may also receive a monthly top-up through the Pennsylvania Optional State Supplementation program. Those with too high an income but meet all other SSI eligibility requirements may also qualify. The amount of OSS is determined by the applicant’s living arrangements, income and marital status. The maximum amounts are $439.30 for single recipients and $957.40 for married couples.
New Castle seniors can call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213 to apply for SSI and Pennsylvania OSS benefits.
LIFE Lawrence County
The LIFE program offered in Lawrence County by Lutheran Senior Life is modeled on PACE plans available nationwide. These programs provide elderly Americans with all-inclusive medical and community-based long-term care to delay or prevent their placement in a nursing home.
To qualify for LIFE services in New Castle, seniors must be aged 55 or older, live within the program’s service area and be assessed as requiring a nursing-home level of care. Seniors who qualify for SSI or Medicaid may receive services through LIFE Lawrence County at no cost.
While the program doesn’t reimburse the cost of services provided by an assisted living facility, it can help reduce a participant’s overall cost of care by providing:
