Assisted Living Costs in Myrtle Beach

The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

The cost of senior care depends on various factors such as location, the type of care and services provided and the number of hours per month services are received. Nursing home care is the most costly in Myrtle Beach, largely because it offers skilled services and 24-hour care. In-home care including homemaker or home health aide services cost considerably less than assisted living. Although these services may seem like a more cost-effective option, it’s important to consider other expenses related to staying at home, such as maintenance, food and utilities, for a reliable cost comparison.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Myrtle Beach

Aid and Attendance Benefits or Housebound Allowance Senior veterans and surviving spouses who receive a regular VA pension may qualify for an additional monthly stipend from Veterans Affairs. The VA offers two programs, the <a href="https://www.va.gov/pension/aid-attendance-housebound/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.va.gov/pension/aid-attendance-housebound/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aid and Attendance&nbsp;benefit and Housebound allowance</a>, which are available to those 65 and older who meet specific eligibility&nbsp;criteria: 
<li>For A&amp;A benefits, applicants must have a severe visual impairment, be bedridden due to disability or persistent illness or need daily help with activities such as bathing, dressing or eating.</li>
<li>For the Housebound allowance, applicants must have a disability that keeps them primarily confined to their home.</li>
 Eligible veterans must have served during wartime and been honorably discharged, but their qualifying disability doesn’t need to be service related. Those who receive a VA disability pension aren’t eligible for these programs, and others may only qualify for one of the two benefits. Applying can be time consuming and complicated, and the determination process is quite lengthy, but benefits may be paid retroactively once approved. To learn more about these programs or for assistance applying, senior veterans can contact the <a href="https://www.horrycounty.org/Departments/Veterans-Affairs" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.horrycounty.org/Departments/Veterans-Affairs" rel="noopener noreferrer">Horry County Veterans Affairs office</a>&nbsp;at (843) 915-5480. Optional State Supplementation The state of South Carolina provides a monthly benefit to residents 65 and older, blind or disabled who reside in a participating, licensed assisted living facility. To qualify, applicants must meet all the eligibility requirements for federal&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Supplemental Security Income</a> benefits other than the monthly income limit of $771 per person or $1,157 per couple. An applicant must also: 
<li>Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident</li>
<li>Have $1,456 or less in monthly income</li>
<li>Own $2,000 or less in countable resources</li>
 The monthly benefit for those approved is sent directly to their care facility to cover room-and-board expenses. Acceptance also qualifies the recipient for full state Medicaid benefits. Seniors can <a href="https://apply.scdhhs.gov/CitizenPortal/application.do" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://apply.scdhhs.gov/CitizenPortal/application.do" rel="noopener noreferrer">apply for the OSS program online</a>, visit the Horry County SCDHHS office at 1201 Creel St. in Conway or call (888) 549-0820 for assistance.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid</a> was established in 1965 by the federal government to provide necessary health care services to low-income Americans. The program is funded jointly by federal and state revenue and operates under federal guidelines but is administered by individual states. South Carolina’s Medicaid program, <a href="https://apply.scdhhs.gov/CitizenPortal/application.do" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://apply.scdhhs.gov/CitizenPortal/application.do" rel="noopener noreferrer">Healthy Connections</a>, is overseen by the <a href="https://www.scdhhs.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.scdhhs.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Department of Health and Human Services</a> and provides services for over 20% of the state’s residents. To qualify for Medicaid, those over age 65, blind or disabled must be a South Carolina resident and: <ul>
<li>Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident</li>
<li>Have monthly income below $1,041 for an individual or $1,409 for a married couple</li>
<li>Have assets of less than $7,730 as an individual or $11,600 as a married couple</li>
</ul> Those who qualify receive a range of services including&nbsp;doctors visits, hospital care, laboratory tests, X-rays and prescription drugs. Supplemental Security Income recipients automatically qualify for full Medicaid benefits. Medicaid-eligible seniors with a monthly income of up to $2,313 and $2,000 or less in assets per person qualify for long-term care in a nursing home. There are exceptions to these <a href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-southcarolina" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-southcarolina" rel="noopener noreferrer">financial limits</a> for married applicants when only one spouse applies: <ul>
<li>Those whose two-person household income is above the combined $4,626 limit may still qualify because Medicaid allows up to $3,160.50 in monthly income to be transferred to their non-applicant spouse as a living allowance.</li>
<li>Those who are over the basic countable asset limit even with allowed exemptions, such as a home, vehicle and personal effects, may qualify when $66,480 in joint assets are deducted, which is the amount allowed a non-applicant spouse.</li>
</ul> Community Choices Long-Term Care Waiver South Carolina’s Medicaid plan doesn’t pay for assisted living as it does nursing home care. It does offer a&nbsp;<a href="https://scaccess.communityos.org/zf/profile/agency/id/58075" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://scaccess.communityos.org/zf/profile/agency/id/58075" rel="noopener noreferrer">Community Choices waiver program</a> that may benefit those who want to move to an assisted living facility. The goal of the waiver is to lower long-term care costs by keeping seniors in the community and reducing nursing home placements. Medicaid-eligible individuals who qualify for nursing home care must be assessed to ensure they can live safely in a community setting with the provided waiver services. Room-and-board costs aren’t covered, but the program pays for other services such as: <ul>
<li>Case management</li>
<li>Attendant or companion services</li>
<li>Personal care and help with activities of daily living</li>
<li>Incontinence supplies</li>
<li>Necessary durable medical equipment</li>
<li>Health checks including blood pressure and blood glucose levels</li>
<li>Intermittent skilled nursing services</li>
<li>Transportation</li>
<li>Nutritional supplements</li>
</ul> This long-term care waiver isn’t an entitlement, and SCDHHS limits statewide enrollment numbers, so those who qualify may have to wait for a slot to become available. To learn more or to apply for the Community Choices waiver program, Myrtle Beach residents can visit the <a href="https://www.scdhhs.gov/historic/insideDHHS/Bureaus/BureauofLongTermCareServices/how do i apply-3.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.scdhhs.gov/historic/insideDHHS/Bureaus/BureauofLongTermCareServices/how do i apply-3.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">local SCDHHS office</a> at 1601 11th Ave. in Conway or call (843) 248-7249.
