How families pay for independent living in Nebraska
Most families in Nebraska cover the cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living with their own savings and income, often supplemented by proceeds from selling a family home. Some have long-term care insurance policies that can be tapped to help offset monthly fees, and it is worth reviewing any such policy early to understand what it covers and for how long. Veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help pay for the cost of care for those who meet the eligibility requirements.
