How families pay for independent living in Washington
Most families in Washington pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of pocket at first, often drawing on savings, pensions and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family member holds a policy, can help cover part of the monthly cost, though the terms and waiting periods vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly amount on top of a regular VA pension for those who need help with daily activities, and it can be applied toward the cost of assisted living or memory care.
