Payment & Assistance
MediCare does not cover assisted living services. So most clients pay privately for these services. However, there are resources that may be of help.
- Veteran's Aid & Assistance (See box below)
- Supplement Security Income (SSI)
- Reverse Mortgages
- Life Care Assurance Benefit
- Long-Term Care Insurance Benefits
We highly recommend you discuss utilizing these resources with other family members, as well as your financial planner, attorney and/or tax advisor.
