Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Salt Lake City

New Choices Waiver Program 
 
The&nbsp;<a href="http://health.utah.gov/ltc/NC/NCHome.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New Choices Waiver</a>&nbsp;assists seniors who are residing in a nursing facility and wish to move to an assisted living facility or return to their community. The program offers social and financial assistance as well as case management and transition counseling services. Its purpose is to reduce financial stress on the Medicaid system that&rsquo;s the result of the high cost of nursing care. 
 
To be eligible for this program, seniors must be residing in a nursing home and able to safely live in a facility that provides a lower level of care or within the community. To apply or to obtain more information about the waiver, seniors can contact 1-800-662-9651. 
 
Optional State Supplement 
 
Seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income can apply for Utah&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/ut.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OSS</a>, which is a cash benefit that&rsquo;s meant to help seniors who are residing in long-term care facilities or receiving home care to pay for associated costs. The senior&rsquo;s income determines OSS benefit amounts, and income limits change annually. 
 
Seniors who are applying for OSS benefits must not possess assets valued higher than $2,000 ($3,000 for couples) and must meet the specified income limits. To apply, seniors can contact their local Social Security Administration Office or call 1-800-772-1213. 
 
Elderlife Bridge Loan 
 
In some cases, seniors may be ineligible for Medicaid but still require financial assistance with the cost of assisted living.&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elderlife Financial Services</a>&nbsp;provides elder bridge loans to support seniors who find themselves in such a situation. These loans are paid directly to the senior&rsquo;s assisted living facility and can be repaid in installments. 
 
Seniors must meet minimum credit and income eligibility requirements or have a cosigner who does. A single application can include up to six cosigners, and the applicants can split the installments. Seniors applying for a bridge loan must reside in or be moving into an approved facility. 
 
Long-Term Care Insurance 
 
Insurance providers such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bankerslife.com/products/long-term-care-insurance/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bankers Life</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.genworth.com/products/care-funding/long-term-care-insurance.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Genworth Financial</a>&nbsp;offer long-term care insurance policies that can cover up to 100 percent of the cost of care in assisted living facilities and nursing homes. The price of these policies depends on a variety of factors, including the type and amount of coverage purchased and the insurance company chosen. The policyholder&rsquo;s age and health are also factors that affect the cost of premiums. 
 
Although each company has its own guidelines and policies in place, most won&rsquo;t allow an individual to purchase a long-term care insurance policy after they&rsquo;ve been diagnosed with a condition that may require long-term care, so it&rsquo;s important for anyone considering these policies to plan in advance.

This is a fantastic facility.  It accepts medicare but none of the stigmas that seem to come with it.  It also has a fantastic hospital close by.  I know a gentleman who is a resident here and he loves it.  He's a veteran of the second world war and he likes nothing better than to tell stories about his time in Germany fighting the good fight and saving the world from evil"”according to him.  The staff are more than happy to sit with him and listen to his stories.  Sometimes he meanders and forgets what he's talking about, or waxes philosophical about the war, but the staff is infinitely patient with him.  I've certainly never witnessed anything from them but the highest respect.  Moreover, he met a buddy in this facility he used to serve with and they spend large amounts of their time reminiscing together.  More often than not, their spirited banter draws quite a crowd among the staff, other residents, and even visitors.  He certainly seems happy here.
