Ways families pay
Medicare does not pay for room, board or personal care in assisted living. Most families use savings and income, the sale of a home, long-term care insurance or VA Aid and Attendance benefits. Some low-income seniors in California may qualify for the state's Assisted Living Waiver, which is available only at participating communities, so ask each community whether it takes part.
