How families pay for assisted living in Kansas

Most families in Kansas pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of their own savings, retirement income and often the proceeds from selling a home. Some have long-term care insurance policies that help cover part of the monthly cost, and it is worth reviewing a policy closely to understand what it will and will not pay for. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help offset the cost of care for those who meet the service and income requirements.
