How Do You Pay For Your Loved One’s Senior Living:

Figuring out how to pay for senior living for a loved one is a huge concern for many families. Below are some of the popular ways families have paid for senior living.The information listed below is intended to help guide you as you start looking for ways to pay for senior living. It is important to remember that every family’s financial situation is different. The options listed below may not be right for your family.

Sale of a Home Or Obtain Equity Loan.

This is an extremely popular option for families who are looking to help a loved one transition to a senior living community. What makes this such a great financial option is that it provides the funding needed for senior living while also solving the problem of what to do with a home that is no longer needed or being used.

Reverse Mortgage/Home Equity.

This financial option allows your loved one to keep their home while at the same time receiving financial compensation that can be used to pay for the senior living community.

Utilization Of Investments.

Savings accounts, stocks, bonds, whole or universal life insurance, annuities, and long-term care insurance are just some examples of investments that can be used to pay for senior living. Unfortunately, there are a lot of complexities associated with this type of financial option. It is best to consult with a financial advisor or tax advisor to determine if this financial option is right for your family.

Retirement Plans.

Social security, 401ks, IRAs, and pensions are commonly used to pay for senior living. If your loved one is a veteran or a spouse of a veteran, VA benefits may be available to help pay for some of the cost of living at an assisted living facility..

Assistance From Others.

Contributions from family and friends, local community groups, and other organizations can help with the cost of senior living. Families often discover that when looking at the total cost of senior living and comparing it to the expenses of living at home (such as food, bills, mortgage, home health care, and maintenance services), it often makes more financial sense to transition to a senior living community.
