How families pay for senior living in Minnesota
Most Minnesota families start by paying privately, drawing on savings, retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse has a policy, can also help cover the monthly cost of assisted living, memory care, or independent living. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly payment on top of a regular VA pension for those who need help with daily activities. It is worth checking early, since VA claims can take time to process.
