How Do I Pay for Colorado Springs, CO Assisted Living?

Are you trying to determine how you’ll pay for Colorado Springs assisted living communities? You’ll find many different options that can help you afford care, from Veteran’s benefits to Medicare.

Veteran's Benefits

If you’re a military veteran, you may be eligible for financial aid that helps you pay for the cost of assisted living. This benefit is a pension benefit, so it doesn’t depend on if you’ve sustained service-related injuries in the past.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance can help cover the cost of assisted living if you require this type of care. Without this kind of coverage, the costs of long-term care can be difficult to pay. Purchasing long-term care insurance is much like buying disability or life insurance. You choose the coverage you want and are issued a policy that can help you prepare for the expenses of long-term care.

Home Equity

If you own your own home, you may be able to use your home’s equity to pay for the cost of a Colorado Springs assisted living facility. Home equity lines of credit are loans that are secured by the value of your home and give you the flexibility to withdraw money on a necessary basis. Many seniors find that getting cash from the value of their home offers an excellent way to pay for their long-term assisted living care.

Medicare

A type of health insurance available to Americans over age 65 — usually does not pay for the cost of assisted living. However, it may cover short-term stays in the event of an injury or illness that requires care.

Medicaid

Medicaid is available for many low-income seniors who have few assets outside of their homes. It’s funded partly by states and partly by the federal government. Most state Medicaid programs do cover some of the costs associated with assisted living, such as medication management, medical exams, nursing care, assessments, and case management.
