How families pay for memory care in Illinois
Most families in Illinois start by looking at what they already have: savings, retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Private funds cover the bulk of assisted living, memory care, and independent living costs in the state, at least at first. Long-term care insurance, if a parent or spouse purchased a policy years ago, can offset some of the monthly cost, though the details of what it pays and for how long vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps with the cost of care for those who meet the service and income requirements. It's worth checking early, since the application process can take time.
