These programs help qualified veterans pay for assisted living services, such as help with bathing, dressing, eating and transportation.
- Private Payments: Seniors use their income and assets to pay for assisted living expenses, such as room and board and personal care. These assets include public and private pensions, Social Security benefits, Roth IRAs and 401(k) accounts, long-term care insurance and certain types of life insurance policies.
