How families pay for skilled nursing in Ohio
Most Ohio families start by paying privately, using savings, pensions and often the proceeds from selling a home to cover the monthly cost of assisted living, memory care or independent living. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse has a policy, can offset part of that cost, and it is worth reviewing the policy terms early to understand what triggers benefits and how much is paid out. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet eligibility rules may also receive help through VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit intended to assist with the cost of daily care.
