How families pay for memory care in Connecticut

Most families in Connecticut start by paying privately, often drawing on savings, pensions, retirement accounts and sometimes the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family member has a policy, can also help cover assisted living, memory care or independent living costs, though the details of what is covered vary by policy and are worth reviewing early. Veterans and surviving spouses may be eligible for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help offset the cost of care for those who qualify, and it is worth looking into if there is any military service in the family's background.
