How families pay for senior living in South Carolina

Most South Carolina families pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of their own pockets at first, drawing on savings, pensions, Social Security and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family already holds a policy, can offset part of the monthly cost as well. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility rules may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit paid in addition to a standard VA pension that can be put toward the cost of care.
