When a parent, spouse or friend, or family member's illness has reached a level where Intermediate, or Custodial Care is required, and the services of a nursing home have become the only option, dealing with nursing home facilities is a difficult and often upsetting task. Nursing home average costs are $7,800 for semi-private rooms and up to $10,000 for private rooms. What is not included in the daily costs of a nursing home are prescriptions drugs, cable TV, room phone and hair cuts, these amenities are additional costs to the patient or to the family. Medicare or Medicare Supplements plans do not pay for Intermediate Care, Custodial Care or cover prescriptions drugs once a patient is admitted as a permanent resident. All patient prescriptions drugs are supplied by the nursing home pharmaceutical company and depending on patient’s prescriptions, it can be very costly.
