Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Golden
Although the state of Colorado does not provide support to seniors for the room and board costs of assisted living residences there are several programs that offer supplemental income that can be used for living expenses. Health First Colorado, the state's Medicaid system, supports two wavers that may provide financial assistance to blind or disabled seniors, and the OAP (old age pension) system and optional state supplement for low-income individuals on SSI payments offers additional financial support.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for
assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs.
Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
Veterans Benefits
Life Insurance Policy
Long-Term Care Insurance
Reverse Mortgage
