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.

Beyond state Medicaid, the state of New York provides a couple waiver programs that help seniors afford their chosen assisted living facility.
