How families pay for senior living in New York
Most families in New York cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on retirement savings, pensions and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent purchased a policy years earlier, can also help offset the monthly cost, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility requirements may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that provides additional monthly income to help pay for personal care. It is worth checking with the VA directly, since eligibility depends on service history, income and care needs.
