There are a lot of different options for long-term care, as you can see from this book. Each comes with its own unique pros and cons. One of those is the cost of the care. Assisted living can range from the low $2,000s all the way up to $6,000+ per month. Memory care usually starts in the high $4,000s. Skilled nursing can go all the way up to $13,000 in Central Florida! If youre looking through this Senior Blue Book, theres a high likelihood that you or one of your loved ones is needing this type of care.
However, from our experience, theres also a high likelihood that you dont know that there are benefits that can help you pay for it! Medicaid is a great option for skilled nursing or some assisted living facilities. Veterans benefits can be instrumental in helping our veterans and their spouses pay for assisted living or memory care. Here is the important thing about those benefits most people can qualify despite what they may believe or have been told. There are many ways to get qualified for these benefits while protecting you or your loved ones nest egg. The best part about this is that you can do so in ways that the benefits programs permit!
Now, that doesnt mean that its easy or quick. Sometimes it can take months to get everything in place. If that means saving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, its time and effort well spent. In order to make sure that the process goes as smoothly as possible, its important to work with an expert. Thats why so many Floridians choose the Family First Firm to guide them through these complex processes.
