Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Somerset
Somerset seniors, as in all of New Jersey, are eligible for Medicaid waivers that may help those who qualify offset the costs of an assisted living facility. Regulations are determined by the state's Department of Human Services. This program was created in 2017 and is titled Medicaid Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). This falls under the federal government's Comprehensive Medicaid Waiver. 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:
Somerset 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.
Somerset-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.
