How families pay for skilled nursing in Alaska

Most families in Alaska cover assisted living, memory care and independent living out of pocket, at least at first. This often means drawing on savings and retirement income, and in many cases selling a home to help fund the monthly cost. Long-term care insurance, when a family member holds a policy, can also help offset these expenses, though coverage details vary by policy and are worth reviewing closely before making a move. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help pay for the cost of care, and it is worth asking a veterans service officer whether a particular situation qualifies.
