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. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Spokane and 60 other cities in Washington.
Low-income seniors living in Spokane can receive benefits that can help pay for assisted living from Apple Health, Washington’s Medicaid provider, through two different programs: the Medicaid Personal Care Program and the Community First Choice Option. Additionally, eligible seniors can apply to receive a cash benefit through Supplemental Security Income – Category G, which can be used to help pay for assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Washington 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:
