Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Buffalo Grove
Illinois Medicaid does not pay for services in assisted living establishments, shared housing establishments or sheltered care facilities. However, there are two Medicaid waivers, including the Supportive Living Program and the Managed Long-Term Services and Supports program, that can pay for services for qualifying residents in supportive living facilities.
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.

Veterans Benefits
Life Insurance Policy
Long-Term Care Insurance
