Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Hilton Head Island

South Carolina does not offer financial assistance to seniors in order to pay for assisted living facility care. Its current public assistance waivers only provide assistance for seniors who require support in their homes or for seniors who require nursing home-level care. Even so, seniors who are receiving SSI benefits may qualify for the state to pay a supplement for care at an assisted living facility. 

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in South Carolina page.

More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

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:

  • Veterans Benefits
  • Life Insurance Policy
  • Long-Term Care Insurance
  • Reverse Mortgage
