Unless disabled, individuals&nbsp;must be 65 or older to qualify for this benefit and must currently&nbsp;live in a residential care facility. Income limits apply, and individual applicants should make no more than $828.40 per month. The maximum monthly income for couples is exactly double&nbsp;that, at $1,656.80. For applicants living in dedicated mental health care facilities, income limits may be slightly higher. Asset limits follow Medicaid guidelines.

VA Aid and Attendance Program Financial assistance&nbsp;to offset the costs of assisted living&nbsp;is available to eligible veterans and their surviving spouses through the&nbsp;<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">VA Aid and Attendance Program</a>.&nbsp;Qualified individuals must be 65 or older and require&nbsp;assistance with the activities of daily living. There are no additional level-of-care requirements.&nbsp; Financial eligibility requirements for the program are complex, making the application process confusing&nbsp;for many individuals. In addition to income information, applicants may need to provide&nbsp;specifics about un-reimbursed&nbsp;medical expenses.

Assisted Living Bridge Loans Elderlife&nbsp;Financial Services offers assisted living bridge loans to individuals in need of short-term funding for residential care. Seniors can secure up to&nbsp;12 months of payments to allow them to transition to a program while&nbsp;awaiting final benefit approval or&nbsp;a payout from the sale of&nbsp;a home. Available as a lump sum payment or as a line of credit, bridge loans&nbsp;can also help fund transitional costs such as moving expenses. Approval is often quick. These loans can have up to six borrowers, minimizing&nbsp;approval concerns centering around individual creditworthiness or the health and age of&nbsp;the senior&nbsp;receiving services. Borrowers are expected to furnish information about the anticipated source of permanent funding during the application process.
