đ° âHow will we afford senior care?â
Itâs one of the firstâand most stressfulâquestions families ask when they realize a parent or loved one may need additional care.
The good news? There usually isnât just one answer.
Families may use a combination of resources, including:
⢠Social Security and retirement income
⢠Pension benefits
⢠Long-term care insurance
⢠Home equity or proceeds from selling a home
⢠Veterans benefits
⢠Private-pay resources
⢠Medicaid, when eligible
But figuring out what type of care is needed, what you can afford, and which communities might be the right fit can quickly become overwhelming.
đ You donât have to figure it out alone.
