How families pay for independent living in Nevada
Most families in Nevada cover the cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living with private funds. That often means using savings, retirement income or pensions, and in many cases the proceeds from selling a family home. Long-term care insurance, when a policy is in place, can also help offset monthly costs, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help pay for the cost of care, and it is worth asking a VA representative whether a specific situation meets the eligibility rules.
