How families pay for senior living in Indiana

Most families in Indiana start by paying privately, drawing on savings, pensions, retirement accounts and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a family has a policy in place, can also help cover the cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps offset care costs for those who meet the service and eligibility requirements.
