When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living.

If you’re worried about paying for assisted living, available options can help. The largest programs for New Mexico seniors are Supplemental Security Income Category G benefits and Centennial Care, the state’s Medicaid program.
