How families pay for skilled nursing in South Dakota
Most families in South Dakota start by paying privately, often drawing on savings, retirement income and, when needed, the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, if a parent purchased a policy years ago, can also help cover assisted living, memory care or independent living costs, though it is worth reviewing the policy closely to understand what it actually pays for and for how long. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds money on top of a regular VA pension to help with the cost of daily care, and this is worth exploring early since the application process can take time.
