How families pay for senior living in Michigan

Most Michigan families start by paying privately, drawing on retirement savings, pensions, and often the proceeds from selling the family home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent purchased a policy years earlier, can also help cover assisted living or memory care costs, though families should check the policy's specific terms and any waiting periods before relying on it. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can offset care costs for those who meet the eligibility requirements, and it is worth asking a veterans service officer about this early in the process since the paperwork can take time.
