How to Pay for Assisted Living in Chandler

To pay for assisted living, Chandler seniors use a mix of financial assistance programs and their own assets. Combining personal income and savings with state-funded assistance and veterans’ benefits helps residents manage costs effectively and ensure financial sustainability.

  • Medicaid: Arizona Long-Term Care Services, a Medicaid managed care program for those with long-term care needs, pays for assisted living services for qualified seniors. ALTCS doesn’t pay for room and board, but it covers personal care, housekeeping and laundry services and nonemergency medical transportation.
  • Medicare: While Medicare doesn’t pay for standard assisted living services, seniors rely on this coverage to pay for skilled nursing services they receive in assisted living communities. These services include rehabilitative therapies, disease management and skilled nursing.
  • VA Benefits: The VA provides an increased monthly pension for qualified veterans in assisted living through the Aid and Attendance and Housebound programs, helping them pay for custodial care. Additionally, VA health insurance benefits include the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, which provides direct coverage for assisted living.
  • Private Payments: Private options for paying for care include Social Security benefits, money from renting out or selling a home, pensions, retirement savings and annuities. Facilities accept private payments for all expenses, including housing, meals, personal care and recreation.
