Oregon Medicaid has four programs to help eligible seniors cover the costs associated with assisted living. The K Plan, or Community First Choice (CFC) plan, offers long-term supports to avoid nursing home placement and the Independent Choices Program (ICP) provides monthly cash payments to allow self-managed care. The other two programs are Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, which include the Aged and Physically Disabled (APD) waiver to prevent nursing home placement and the Client-Employed Provider (CEP) program to allow seniors to choose their care providers.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Oregon page.
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:
