How families pay for senior living in Maryland

Most Maryland families cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds first, often drawing on savings and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, where a family holds a policy, can also help offset monthly costs, though coverage varies by policy and it's worth reviewing the terms early. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care in these settings.
