How to Pay for Assisted Living in Farmington Hills:

Farmington Hills seniors often draw from multiple sources to pay for assisted living expenses. By leveraging state-funded financial assistance, veterans’ benefits and personal income and assets, assisted living residents can ensure the long-term financial feasibility of residential care.

Medicaid: The Medicaid MI Choice waiver program covers personal care, meals and transportation for seniors who meet financial and functional criteria. Additionally, the Community Transition Services program covers one-time assisted living expenses such as security deposits and utility service initiation fees for qualified individuals transitioning to assisted living from a nursing home.
Medicare: This coverage applies to certain specialized services seniors receive in assisted living, including rehabilitative therapies, durable medical equipment and skilled nursing. However, it doesn’t pay for standard nonmedical assisted living services.
VA Benefits: Veterans in assisted living get help with personal care, meal costs and transportation expenses through two VA programs, Aid and Attendance and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program. According to our proprietary Caring.com database, over 40 assisted living facilities in and around Farmington Hills accept veterans’ benefits.
Private Payments: Assisted living residents pay for housing expenses, personal care, meal services and recreational activities with private payments. This includes monies from retirement savings, monthly income and long-term care insurance.
