How families pay for assisted living in Utah
Most families in Utah cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on savings, retirement income and, in many cases, proceeds from the sale of a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family holds a policy, can also help offset the monthly cost, though coverage details and waiting periods vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet eligibility requirements may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care.
