Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Pensacola

The Optional State Supplementation&nbsp;(OSS) Program 
 
The&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/temporary-cash-assistance.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Optional State Supplementation (OSS) program</a>&nbsp;provides financial assistance toward room and board for low-income Florida seniors&nbsp;already living in residential care facilities. The program&rsquo;s&nbsp;payment varies depending on the type of care an individual receives,&nbsp;up to a maximum of $239&nbsp;monthly for individuals and $487 for couples. 
 
Applicants must be 65 or older (unless disabled) and currently residing in a care facility to qualify. Individual applicants should have a monthly income&nbsp;not exceeding $828.40. For couples, the maximum monthly income is $1,656.80. Income limits are moderately higher for&nbsp;applicants living in mental health care facilities. Asset limits also apply, and applicants will find the guidelines similar to those for Medicaid approval.&nbsp;Interested individuals can visit<a href="http://www.myflorida.com/accessflorida/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;ACCESS Florida</a>&nbsp;for further information or to apply. 
 
VA Aid and Attendance Program 
 
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VA Aid and Attendance Program</a>&nbsp;provides&nbsp;financial assistance to eligible veterans and surviving spouses in need of assisted living. To qualify, applicants must be over the age of 65&nbsp;and need&nbsp;help with activities of daily living. The program&rsquo;s funding&nbsp;is meant to offset the costs of assisted living. 
 
The eligibility requirements are complex, factoring in&nbsp;unreimbursed medical expenses, and application to the program can be confusing. Potential applicants&nbsp;should visit&nbsp;their local&nbsp;<a href="https://www.va.gov/find-locations/?facilityType=benefits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VA benefits office</a>&nbsp;for further information and to apply. 
 
Assisted Living Bridge Loans 
 
For individuals or families in need of&nbsp;short-term funding for assisted living, bridge loans&nbsp;can provide&nbsp;up to 12 months of payments&nbsp;and may be ideal for seniors awaiting benefit approval or funds from a home sale. Bridge loans can also be used to cover&nbsp;initial expenses&nbsp;of assisted living, such as move-in costs.&nbsp; 
 
Because&nbsp;a single loan can have multiple borrowers, the importance of individual creditworthiness diminishes, improving approval odds, and since&nbsp;family members generally apply for bridge loans, the age and health of&nbsp;the senior&nbsp;receiving services don&rsquo;t&nbsp;impact the chance of approval.&nbsp;Lenders do require information&nbsp;about the anticipated source of permanent funding. 
 
Bridge loans&nbsp;can&nbsp;be taken as lump-sum disbursements or as a&nbsp;line of credit. Once an application is submitted, the loan&rsquo;s approval time is often very fast. For additional information on assisted living bridge loans, contact&nbsp;<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elderlife Financial Services</a>.
