How families pay for skilled nursing in Idaho
Most families in Idaho pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of pocket at first, drawing on savings, retirement income and often the proceeds from selling a home. Some households have long-term care insurance that can be applied toward these costs, and veterans or surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can help offset the monthly rate at a licensed community. It is worth checking a policy's terms early, since some require a waiting period or specific level of care before benefits begin.
