How families pay for skilled nursing in Wisconsin
Most families in Wisconsin pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living out of their own pockets at the start, drawing on savings, retirement income and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, where a policy was purchased years earlier, can offset part of the monthly cost, and it is worth reviewing the policy language closely since coverage for assisted living versus memory care sometimes differs. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet service and financial requirements may also be able to use VA Aid and Attendance to help with the cost of care, and this benefit is worth asking about early since the application process can take some time.
