Understanding How to Pay for Senior Living

There are multiple ways to fund senior living, and families often use a combination of these options: 

​

Private Pay

The most common method, private pay, involves using personal savings, retirement income, or family contributions to cover the cost of assisted living. 

​

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance policies may cover a portion of assisted living expenses. It's essential to review your policy's coverage and benefits.  

​

Medicaid Waivers

While Medicaid does not pay for assisted living at Parkview, some families may qualify for Medicaid waiver programs that assist with home- and community-based care. ​

​

Life Settlements

Seniors with life insurance policies may be able to convert them into funds for assisted living through a life settlement. 

​

Bridge Loans & Home Equity

For families in transition, bridge loans can provide short-term funding until a home is sold or other financial arrangements are made. Homeowners may also use home equity to finance senior living expenses. 

​

​

Veterans Benefits

The VA Aid & Attendance Benefit is available to eligible veterans and their spouses to help cover the cost of assisted living. This benefit provides monthly financial assistance for those who require help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.

 

To qualify, veterans must have served at least 90 days of active duty with a least one day during wartime. While Parkview does not process applications, we can guide families in finding the right resources to apply for these benefits.
