How families pay for independent living in Georgia
Most families in Georgia cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often a combination of savings, retirement income and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years earlier, can also help offset monthly costs, though coverage terms vary widely and are worth reviewing closely before moving in. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care, and it is worth asking a veterans service officer whether a particular situation meets the requirements.
