Senior care costs are highly dependent on the level of care an individual needs. The average monthly cost of assisted living in Greenville is $3,092 less than a semiprivate room in a nursing home, and if an individual is mobile, needs very little daily care or intermittent nursing skills, then assisted living may be a good fit. Home health assistance ($3,766) costs about the same as assisted living, but expenses such as rent, groceries, transportation and utilities must be accounted for. These costs are typically included in assisted living fees.

South Carolina’s Medicaid program is called Healthy Connections. It’s managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), and it helps low-income families and individuals who are disabled or over the age of 65 receive medical care. Healthy Connections pays for some or all medical bills and can financially assist with nursing facility care. If an individual receives Social Security Income (SSI), they automatically qualify for Medicaid.
Eligibility requirements include:
It takes approximately 45 days for Healthy Connections to determine eligibility, although it may take longer for some applicant categories. Individuals will be notified when a determination has been made, and if approved, they will receive their benefits card within one week.
In addition to the Healthy Connections Medicaid program, there are also waivers to help with the costs of assisted living, but these programs are capped and individuals may be assigned to a waiting list.
The Community Choices waiver enables individuals with care requirements that qualify them for a nursing home to live at home or an assisted living facility, as long as the costs don’t exceed those of a nursing home. Family members, including adult children, are eligible to be paid to take care of their aging loved one as long as they pass the necessary background checks approved by South Carolina.
Other services offered by this program include adult day care, home modifications, personal support and medical equipment and supplies.
To qualify for the Community Choices waiver, an individual must be:
Individuals should apply to Healthy Connections Medicaid and Community Choices even if they’re unsure of eligibility but need health care or financial help. Seniors can apply online, at their local county office or call the customer service line at (888) 549-0820.
Optional State Supplementation
Optional State Supplementation Program (OSS) is a state-funded program that is managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). This program is intended to support the health and care of seniors who reside in an assisted living facility and improve their quality of life, preventing early entry into a nursing home.
The advantages of this program is that members receive full Medicaid benefits and cash payments for room and board, along with a small allowance for personal needs.
To qualify for OSS, an individual must be a U.S. citizen or qualified alien, a resident in South Carolina, age 65 and older, a resident in an assisted living facility that is enrolled with SCDHHS and must have a monthly income that doesn’t exceed $1,456 or $2,000 in resources.
Older Americans Act in South Carolina
The Older Americans Act (OAA) is a federal program that provides funded money to designated Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) for various services to seniors living outside of nursing homes. These services include congregate meals, caregiver support, transportation, case management and assistance with senior benefit programs.
For eligibility, individuals must be age 60 and above and reside in South Carolina. Funding for OAA is limited and distributed to individuals who are prioritized as the most in need.
To learn more information and apply for this program, please call the Appalachia Area Agency at (864) 242-9733.
