Paying for Assisted Living in Lakewood
Assisted Living costs in Lakewood start around $3,600 per month on average,
while the nationwide average cost of
assisted living is $4,000 per month, according to the latest figures from Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.
It’s important to note that assisted living rates in Lakewood and the surrounding suburbs can vary widely based on factors such
as location, the level of care needed, apartment size and the types of amenities offered at each community.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Lakewood
Qualified applicants in Lakewood may receive Medicaid waivers as part of the federal government's Comprehensive Medicaid Waiver. This act was passed in New Jersey in 2017 and is called Medicaid Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). This program may offset the costs of assisted living. New Jersey's system has no enrollment caps, meaning that all those who are eligible to receive services will receive them.
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:
Lakewood and the surrounding area are home to numerous government agencies
and non-profit organizations offering help for seniors searching for or
currently residing in an assisted living
community. These organizations can also provide assistance in a number of other eldercare services such as
geriatric care management, elder law advice, estate planning, finding
home care and health and wellness programs.
Lakewood-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in New Jersey are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in New Jersey page for more information about these laws.
