Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Albuquerque

Older Americans Act Seniors living in Albuquerque may qualify for state funding under the Older Americans Act: a federal law that provides the state with funding that’s managed by<a href="https://www.cabq.gov/family/income-eligible-services/senior-services" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.cabq.gov/family/income-eligible-services/senior-services" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;Area Agencies on Aging</a>. Some AAAs may use their funding to provide financial support to seniors who require help with the cost of assisted living or home care. Depending on the senior’s income, the full cost of services may be covered under this program or services could be subsidized. In order to access funding under the Older Americans Act, seniors must be 60 years of age or older, be legal residents of New Mexico and require daily supportive care. There are no income or asset limits in place for this program, but seniors who are most in need of assistance are helped first. To apply for funding, seniors can contact the Albuquerque Area Agency on Aging office at: 400 Marquette NW Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 (505) 764-6400 Optional State Supplement Seniors who receive supplemental security income (SSI) from the federal government may be eligible to receive an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/nm.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/nm.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">optional state supplement</a>&nbsp;(OSS). OSS benefits exist with the intention of helping individuals who reside in long-term care facilities pay for the cost of room and board. The benefit is calculated based on the senior’s income and needs and paid out at a maximum of $100 per month. To be eligible for OSS, seniors must be receiving SSI benefits. To apply for OSS, contact the Albuquerque US Social Security Administration Office at (800) 772-1213. Elderlife Bridge Loans Elderlife bridge loans are intended to help seniors pay for the cost of assisted living and other types of long-term care while they await permanent funding. Bridge loans are paid directly to the senior’s assisted living facility and are paid back in low-interest monthly installments by the senior and their cosigners. Seniors may apply with up to six cosigners, which can increase the likelihood of approval. Seniors can apply for an Elderlife bridge loan by contacting&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial Services&nbsp;</a>directly.

Insurance policies vary in price depending on the coverage, provider and policyholder’s age and health history.
