How to Pay for Assisted Living in Green Bay

Seniors in Green Bay pay for assisted living services through private payment options and financial assistance programs. Before choosing a facility, seniors and families should consider the types of payment they qualify for and what the facility accepts.

  • Medicaid: Wisconsin Medicaid pays for assisted living services through programs such as Family Care, Family Care Partnership, and IRIS. None of these programs covers housing, but qualified seniors can use them to pay for personal care services, assistive technology, and transportation.
  • Medicare: Assisted living residents use their Medicare coverage to pay for skilled nursing services, durable medical equipment, and rehabilitative therapies. However, this program doesn’t pay for housing or nonmedical personal care services.
  • VA Benefits: Two types of benefits pay for assisted living for qualified veterans: Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits and the Geriatrics and Extended Care program. These benefits help veterans pay for personal care services, meals, and housing in assisted living.
  • Private Payments: Pooling family resources, cashing in on certain life insurance benefits, using monthly income, and withdrawing retirement savings help seniors pay for long-term care. Assisted living communities accept private payments for all expenses, including personal care, housing, and recreation.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Green Bay

Wisconsin’s state Medicaid program offers several waivers to assist with services at assisted living facilities. Waiver participants’ room and board costs are capped at the federal SSI benefit rate plus any SSI-E disbursement, minus a $45 personal needs allowance.

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