Paying for Assisted Living in Belvidere
In Belvidere, assisted living communities charge around $5,250 per month for services.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Belvidere
Some seniors may qualify for financial aid through the state's Supportive Living Program (SLP), which is a type of Medicaid waiver. Not all assisted living facilities in the Belvidere area accept state funding. It's a good idea to check with a prospective facility to see if it is on the SLP-approved list. The SLP waiver helps pay for personal care services but does not cover the cost of room and board.
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
