Under the PACE guidelines, seniors may live independently or reside in an assisted living community. PACE provides daily nursing care as well as additional medical and social services at a fraction of the cost of nursing care. To be eligible, individuals must be age 55 or older and submit to a comprehensive assessment to determine the level of care they require. They must also meet Medicaid financial requirements and be able to live safely within their community. Seniors can find a PACE provider in their area by calling 1-855-435-7223.

The company offers low-cost loans to seniors with reasonable monthly payments. These loans help seniors pay for the cost of assisted living and other senior care options and can be paid directly to an assisted living facility. Eligibility is dependent on credit and income; however, seniors can apply with up to six co-applicants to increase the chance of approval. Applicants must also be residing in or moving into an approved facility.

The OSS benefit can help to pay the cost of room and board in an assisted living facility. It’s calculated based on the individual’s income, which cannot exceed $849.40 per month and has a maximum payout of $78.40 monthly. To be eligible, seniors may not exceed monthly income limits and may not possess assets valued at more than $2,000 per individual or $3,000 per couple. To apply, seniors can contact the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/" rel="noopener noreferrer">ACCESS Florida</a>&nbsp;branch of the Florida Department of Children and Families by phoning 1-866-762-2237. Long-Term Care Insurance Seniors who have purchased long-term care insurance can use the policy’s benefits to help them pay for the cost of assisted living.

The price of long-term care insurance varies drastically depending on a number of factors, including the policyholder’s health, the average cost of care and the type of plan purchased. Eligibility requirements and benefit limitations vary between long-term care insurance providers, but most companies require that a policy be purchased before the policyholder needs long-term care.
