Paying for Assisted Living in Brunswick

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Brunswick

In Maine, the state funded medical program, MaineCare, covers the cost of an assisted living community. As long as seniors meet the financial eligibility criteria for MaineCare, they may have the entire cost of their assisted living unit paid for by the state.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Maine page.

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living
