How families pay for memory care in Virginia
Most families in Virginia start by looking at what they already have: savings, retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a house. Long-term care insurance, when a parent purchased a policy years ago, can also help cover the monthly cost of assisted living, memory care, or independent living. It's worth reading the policy closely, since some only pay after a waiting period or require a certain level of care need before benefits kick in.
