Kirby Pines Estates was a cheery and nice place, and I liked it. Everything there was fine. There was a movie theater, a painting room, a park, and an exercise room. I only talked to one person, and he was very friendly and very informative.

Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart
When considering the type service to use, the biggest cost factor is the level of care an individual needs. If part-time care is required, then adult day health is the least expensive route, averaging $1,452 per month. Home care services, at $3,432, are about $100 less expensive than assisted living. Unlike assisted living, home care services don’t include the costs of maintaining a home, such as rent, utilities, groceries, taxes and insurance. Nursing home care is the most expensive option, with average costs about $3,000 over the price of assisted living.

Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Pension program
The Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Pension (A&A) program helps eligible low-income wartime veterans and their surviving spouses with the costs of assisted living, home care and skilled nursing home care. It’s for those who need daily assistance with various activities, such as medication management, bathing, dressing, transportation for errands and medical appointments and housekeeping.
A&A is an additional tax-free monetary benefit on top of a veteran’s basic monthly pension. Single veterans can receive as much as $1,794 a month, while surviving spouses receive up to $1,153 a month and married couples up to $2,127 a month. To qualify, a single veteran’s Maximum Annual Pension Rate (MAPR), set by congress, can’t exceed $22,577, and for married veterans it can’t exceed $26,766. For a more in-depth view of these calculations, please visit the veterans organization website.
Veterans must have served at least 90 days on active duty and at least one of those days must have been during a wartime period. Veterans must also meet some of these conditions:
Widowed spouses must have been married to the veteran at the time of his or her death to be eligible.
Due to the many complexities involved with the obtaining the A&A benefit, it’s best to speak with a VA counselor who can guide you through the lengthy process and help you prepare and gather all the necessary forms.
For more information, please call your local veterans office at (901) 222-4237.
Reverse Mortgage
A reverse mortgage is a type of home equity loan that enables seniors to receive cash on their home’s value without selling it, and it’s often used to pay for assisted living. Qualified accommodations include single-family residences, manufactured homes, 2-4 unit properties, condominiums and townhouses.
Getting a reverse mortgage doesn’t affect Medicare of Social Security benefits, however, the payments you receive from a reverse mortgage must be spent within the same month you receive them. Any funds remaining in your bank account could be considered an asset and affect eligibility for government programs.
To be eligible for a reverse mortgage:
It’s not necessary for the borrower to pay back the loan until the home is sold or otherwise vacated. Borrowers may refinance the reverse mortgage if their home significantly increases in value, and If seniors, or their heirs, decide to keep the home, the reverse mortgage can be repaid.
For more information on reverse mortgages, go to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association to find a lender in Tennessee.
The Area Agency on Aging helps seniors and their family members locate resources that improve their quality of life. They provide services to the elderly and disabled that include caregiver services, support groups, nutritional counseling, legal assistance and outreach programs.
