How Do I Pay for Sacramento, CA Assisted Living?

There are many ways to cover costs and ensure that older adults get the care they need — while maintaining the independence they crave.

Options that can help pay for the cost of assisted living in Sacramento, CA, include:

Veteran's Benefits

Many military veterans spent a significant portion of their lives serving their country, and thankfully, veteran’s benefits can go a long way in covering the cost of assisted living care in Sacramento, CA. Many veterans are eligible for assistance with assisted living costs through the Improved Pension Program. The Aid and Attendance program for veterans also works to help seniors (and their spouses) complete the activities of daily living.

Long-Term Care Insurance

This type of insurance coverage can be a good fit for adults over the age of 65 who need assistance in paying for long-term medical care that is not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or other health insurance. Long-term care insurance is private insurance often purchased by individuals in their 40s and 50s in anticipation of the possibility of needing assisted living or nursing home care later in life.

Home Equity

A line of credit that allows older adults to take out a second mortgage on their home, this can be an option for paying for long-term assisted living care. It can be tough for seniors to qualify for this type of credit, as it requires a low debt-to-income ratio and proof of verifiable employment.

Medicare

Providing health insurance coverage to all Americans age 65 and over, Medicare is available regardless of income. Medicare can help cover medical costs incurred while your loved one is in assisted living care in Sacramento, CA.

Medicaid

This type of government health insurance is available to Americans with a very low income. Adults in Sacramento who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid can receive both types of insurance.
