Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Little Rock

Assisted Living Bridge Loans Some seniors only require help paying for assisted living for a short period. This may be the case for seniors who are planning a home sale or waiting for benefits approval. A short-term loan can help bridge these funding gaps. When seniors are approved for a bridge loan, the money is sent right to the assisted living community. Loan terms of <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/calculate-affordable-payments/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/calculate-affordable-payments/" rel="noopener noreferrer">up to 24 months</a> are available, which gives seniors time to arrange a more permanent source of funding. To apply for a bridge loan, call <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/contact-elderlife/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial</a>&nbsp;at (888) 228-4500 or complete a quick <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/loc/" rel="noopener noreferrer">online application</a>. Applicants should be prepared to explain how they’ll repay the loan, but they&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;need to qualify on their own. Up to six borrowers are allowed per application, and they don’t have&nbsp;to be related. Veterans Aid and Attendance Little Rock veterans who receive a basic VA pension may be able to receive additional money from the VA to help pay for assisted living costs. The VA offers a top-up benefit called the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aid and Attendance pension</a>. It’s available to veterans who need another person’s help performing activities of daily living, such as getting dressed, eating or bathing. Veterans can also qualify if they’re confined to bed due to a disability, legally blind or a resident in a nursing home. Senior veterans who aren’t receiving a VA disability pension can apply for the&nbsp;Aid and Attendance benefit by: 
<li>Filing a request in-person at the local regional benefit office</li>
<li>Sending a written request to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer">St. Paul Regional&nbsp;Pension Management Center</a></li>
 Applicants should submit documentation supporting the need for the benefit, and if possible, a written doctor’s report. For answers to questions about this pension or other VA benefits, call <a href="https://www.va.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.va.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">the VA</a> at (844) 698-2311.

Medicaid is a national program that helps low-income Americans pay for <a href="https://medicaid.mmis.arkansas.gov/Beneficiary/Covered.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://medicaid.mmis.arkansas.gov/Beneficiary/Covered.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">necessary health care services</a>. In Arkansas, Medicaid is called ARMedicaid, and it pays for doctor’s visits, emergency care, hospital stays and other medical services. The state Medicaid plan may pay for long-term care, including assisted living facilities, through its waiver programs. To receive coverage, Little Rock residents must earn less than the <a href="https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1089" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1089" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid income limits</a>: <ul>
<li>$16,146 annually for a one-person household</li>
<li>$21,892 annually for a two-person household</li>
</ul> <a href="https://humanservices.arkansas.gov/images/uploads/dco/Quick_Reference_Medicaid_Chart.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://humanservices.arkansas.gov/images/uploads/dco/Quick_Reference_Medicaid_Chart.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">Resource limits</a> also apply to Medicaid. The limit is $2,000 for a single person and $3,000 for a couple. Some assets are counted towards the resource limit, while others are exempt. Cash, checking and savings accounts, stocks and bonds are usually counted. Exempt assets include a primary residence, household belongings and one car. People who receive Supplemental Security Income automatically receive ARMedicaid and don’t need to apply. Others can apply in person at the county Department of Human Services&nbsp;office or visit&nbsp;<a href="https://access.arkansas.gov/Welcome.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://access.arkansas.gov/Welcome.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Access Arkansas</a>&nbsp;to apply online.

Living Choices Assisted Living Waiver Seniors who require care in an assisted living community may be eligible for the <a href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/assistedlivingchoices_waiver.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/assistedlivingchoices_waiver.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Living Choices Assisted Living waiver</a>. The waiver may pay for a variety of <a href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/assistedlivingchoices_application.html#3" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/assistedlivingchoices_application.html#3" rel="noopener noreferrer">services</a>, such as nonmedical transportation, medication administration, therapeutic care and limited nursing services, as well as recreational and social activities.&nbsp;Seniors can also receive assistance with daily activities, such as eating, drinking or toileting. Room-and-board costs are excluded from the waiver. To be eligible for the Living Choices program, seniors&nbsp;must earn less than 300% of the current SSI benefit, or $2,313 per month. They’re also subject to the same resource limits as Medicaid participants ($2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple). In addition to meeting financial requirements, seniors must need an intermediate level of nursing home care as determined by a licensed medical professional’s assessment. Seniors who require skilled nursing aren’t eligible. To learn more about the&nbsp;Living Choices waiver, call the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/contact_us.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.daas.ar.gov/contact_us.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Division of Aging and Adult Services</a> at (501) 682-2441.
