In low-end nursing homes, those who can take care of themselves and do not need services will cost around 1,600 yuan a month. Those who are semi-autonomous are slightly more expensive, and those who cannot take care of themselves are the most expensive, at least 3,000 yuan. Mid-range nursing homes will be divided into several situations when accepting the elderly, including medical services, life care, technical care, etc. The cost ranges from 3500-7500. The fees for high-end nursing homes are relatively high, ranging from seven to eight thousand at least to tens of thousands, which is difficult for families with ordinary incomes to afford. However, in direct proportion to the high cost, its service is also very good. Not only the environment is good, the facilities are complete, but also the options are high. Receiving the elderly is also divided into a disability area and a self-care area, and the level of care is very high.
1. What is a comprehensive nursing home?
Comprehensive elderly care institutions are the most common type of elderly care facilities in China. We usually call them "welfare homes", "nursing homes", "retirement homes", "elderly care centers" and "elderly apartments" Etc., the services provided cover almost all aspects of supporting and caring for an elderly person. We refer to this type of elderly care institutions as comprehensive elderly care institutions. Its basic services include: daily meals, living services, living assistance, nursing services, health management, culture and entertainment, emergency medical assistance, etc. Its fees depend on: care level, service level, room size, room type, hardware facilities, geographical location, etc.; the monthly fee is composed of (bed fee + nursing fee + food fee). Compared with professional care institutions such as nursing homes, disability/dementia care or continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), comprehensive nursing homes charge more in the middle and lower range. The difference between nursing homes and disability/dementia care institutions: Nursing homes place more emphasis on the medical functions of illness, chronic illness, injury rehabilitation, postoperative rehabilitation and hospice care. Disability/dementia care institutions place more emphasis on life care and nursing services.
2. Nursing home charges depend on the level of care.
That is, it depends on the assessment results of the elderly care institution or other third parties on the elderly’s ability to live activities. At present, most domestic elderly care institutions have their own evaluation standards. Elderly care goes from easy to difficult, and labor costs go from low to high. The cost increases step by step. Elderly people who can take care of themselves generally do not charge nursing fees or charge lower living service fees. As the level of care changes, the nursing fees will be re-evaluated, and the nursing fees are adjusted according to the living ability of the elderly.
