So I work at a nursing home (two actually) and as such I understand that just about any quirk in life can land you a permanent stay in one. I have been doing some finical planning for retirement and I’m trying to build an extended stay at a nursing home into my end numbers.
Medicare part A/ private pay one month stay = $12,000
Medicare part B one month stay = $510
Should I be concerned about running out of money at a nursing home if I can just switch to part B and stay? I understand you need to spend down to get on part B but if I’m stuck in a nursing home what else am I gonna spend it on? Am I crazy for thinking I DONT have to save a fortune for an extended nursing home stay?
