The average monthly cost of nursing home care is $8,121, making it more than double the cost of assisted living. The cost of home care ($3,813) is also more expensive than assisted living.

Optional State Supplement Seniors who already receive federal supplemental security income (SSI) may be eligible to receive an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/id.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/id.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">optional state supplement</a>, which is intended to aid seniors with the cost of room and board in assisted living facilities. The amount of the OSS benefit is determined by the senior’s needs, and for those living in an assisted living facility, the supplement is paid out to a maximum of $473 per month. To be eligible for this benefit, seniors must be aged 65 or older and receiving SSI. Seniors may apply by contacting the Boise US Social Security Administration office at (800) 772-1213. Elderlife Bridge Loan Seniors who don’t qualify for financial assistance through state programs or Medicaid programs can apply for a bridge loan through<a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;Elderlife Financial Services</a>. These loans are paid directly to the senior’s assisted living facility and can be paid back in monthly installments by the borrower and any co-applicants on their application. Interest rates for these loans are low, and terms are flexible. Seniors who are concerned about approval may apply with up to six cosigners to increase the likelihood that they’ll qualify for a loan and reduce their monthly payments. Long-Term Care Insurance <a href="https://doi.idaho.gov/consumer/LongTermCareInsurance" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://doi.idaho.gov/consumer/LongTermCareInsurance" rel="noopener noreferrer">Long-term care insurance</a>&nbsp;exists to cover the cost of assisted living or other long-term care services. Seniors who purchase these policies prior to the need for long-term care are eligible to have the cost of assisted living covered by their insurance provider. In most cases, policyholders will be required to pay an annual deductible. Eligibility and costs depend on the insurance provider and the plan purchased. Premiums and deductibles are often calculated based on the age and health history of the policyholder, and policies aren’t typically available to those with severe health problems.

This program provides seniors with the option to direct their own care, which means they’re not restricted from choosing care providers from a specific network and may choose who provides their care in some cases. However, participants of this program must use a designated third party financial manager to manage their medical expenses. To be eligible for the Aged and Disabled Waiver, seniors must be 65 years of age or older and require a nursing level of care. The financial requirements of this program stipulate that seniors must not earn more than $27,756 in income each year and the value of their assets, excluding their home, must not exceed $2,000. To apply or to learn more about the application process, seniors can contact the<a href="http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/ContactUs/tabid/127/Default.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/ContactUs/tabid/127/Default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;Idaho Department of Health and Welfare</a>&nbsp;or call (877) 456-1233. Personal Care Services Program The Idaho Personal Care Services Program (PCSP) is a Medicaid funded program that provides elderly residents of the state with covered assistance with activities of daily living. This program was created to take pressure off of the Medicaid system by providing alternative services to seniors who may otherwise be institutionalized in a nursing home. The PCSP is available to seniors who reside in their homes or assisted living facilities. Applicants must be 65 years of age or older and require daily supportive care services. To be eligible for the PCSP, seniors must not earn more than $824 in income each month and may not own more than $2,000 in countable assets, excluding home value, home furnishings and life insurance policies. To apply or to learn more about the application process, seniors can contact their local<a href="http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/ContactUs/tabid/127/Default.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/ContactUs/tabid/127/Default.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;Idaho Department of Health and Welfare</a>&nbsp;office or call (877) 456-1233.
