Paying for Long-Term Care
(Assisted Living, Nursing
Home Care, & Hospice)
Long-term care is expensive whether in an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home. Most care is not fully paid for by health insurance.
There are three basic types of payment:
- Private Pay
- Medicare
- Medicaid
Hospice care may be provided through the same programs and/or through private pay methods.
