Medicare: Medicare pays for covered medically necessary services assisted living residents receive, bringing down their monthly bills. While it doesn’t cover standard assisted living services, it pays for home health care, rehabilitative therapies and durable medical equipment.
VA Benefits: Veterans in Hollywood pay for some of their assisted living expenses through the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, as well as Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits. These programs can help pay for meals, room and board and personal care.

Common sources for private payments include Social Security benefits, pensions, retirement savings accounts and long-term care insurance.
