How families pay for memory care in Hawaii
Most families in Hawaii cover the cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living with their own savings and income, and often the sale of a home helps make that possible, especially given how much local real estate can be worth. Some households also draw on long-term care insurance policies purchased years earlier, which can offset monthly costs depending on the terms of the policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care, and it is worth looking into for anyone with a service history in the family.
