Paying for Assisted Living in Vancouver

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Vancouver
There are Medicaid programs offered by the state of Washington to pay for the cost of ALF services in Vancouver.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Washington page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Washington page.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
In Vancouver, the cost of care jumps across two extremes, but assisted living offers a middle ground between these types of care. Home health care offers the most affordable option at $4,767 while granting seniors access to more medical services than assisted living facilities provide. Nursing homes expand this support even further, but a semi-private room in one costs $14,570 per month as a result.
