How families pay for independent living in Montana
Most Montana families start by paying privately, often drawing on savings, retirement income, and frequently the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent has kept a policy, can also help cover assisted living or memory care costs, though coverage details vary by policy and are worth reviewing early. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of assisted living or memory care, and it's worth asking a VA representative whether a particular situation meets the requirements.
