Some have long-term care insurance policies that can be tapped to cover part or all of the monthly cost, and it's worth reviewing any policy early to understand what it will and won't pay for. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help offset the cost of assisted living or memory care, though families should confirm eligibility and application details directly with the VA.
