What Financial Aid is Available for Long Term Care and Are We Eligible?

Our goal is to help aging Americans and their families understand their long term care options and connect with  financial assistance to pay for, or reduce the cost of, home care, assisted living, Alzheimer's and nursing home care.  


Many care and financial aid options are available to families, but differing eligibility requirements can make discovering and understanding them a challenge.  To help, we provide an Eldercare Financial Resource Locator Tool; this online questionnaire gives a comprehensive picture of eldercare programs for which you or your loved one is and isn’t eligible. 


Results include the benefits of programs in which you may already participate, such as Medicare or Medicaid, as well as the pros & cons of outside financial resources which you may choose to pursue, such as veterans’ pensions, eldercare loans or reverse mortgages.
