Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Little Rock

Assisted Living Bridge Loans Some seniors only require help paying for assisted living for a short period. This may be the case for seniors who are planning a home sale or waiting for benefits approval. A short-term loan can help bridge these funding gaps. When seniors are approved for a bridge loan, the money is sent right to the assisted living community. Loan terms of <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/calculate-affordable-payments/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/calculate-affordable-payments/" rel="noopener noreferrer">up to 24 months</a> are available, which gives seniors time to arrange a more permanent source of funding. To apply for a bridge loan, call <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial</a>&nbsp;at (888) 228-4500 or complete a quick <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" rel="noopener noreferrer">online application</a>. Applicants should be prepared to explain how they’ll repay the loan, but they&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;need to qualify on their own. Up to six borrowers are allowed per application, and they don’t have&nbsp;to be related. Veterans Aid and Attendance Little Rock veterans who receive a basic VA pension may be able to receive additional money from the VA to help pay for assisted living costs. The VA offers a top-up benefit called the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aid and Attendance pension</a>. It’s available to veterans who need another person’s help performing activities of daily living, such as getting dressed, eating or bathing. Veterans can also qualify if they’re confined to bed due to a disability, legally blind or a resident in a nursing home. Senior veterans who aren’t receiving a VA disability pension can apply for the&nbsp;Aid and Attendance benefit by: 
<li>Filing a request in-person at the local regional benefit office</li>
<li>Sending a written request to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer">St. Paul Regional&nbsp;Pension Management Center</a></li>
 Applicants should submit documentation supporting the need for the benefit, and if possible, a written doctor’s report. For answers to questions about this pension or other VA benefits, call <a href="https://www.va.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.va.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">the VA</a> at (844) 698-2311.
