- Long-term care insurance: Some policies may cover part or all of assisted living costs—be sure to check your individual plan for coverage specifics.
- Veterans benefits: Veterans and their spouses may qualify for programs that offset the cost of care.
- Private pay: Many residents fund assisted living through personal savings, home equity, or retirement income.
We understand that financial planning can be overwhelming, and our team is here to walk you through your options and help you make an informed decision.
