Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Lake Charles

Assisted Living Bridge Loans Seniors and their families in&nbsp;Lake Charles can apply for a line of credit to help pay for assisted living through Elderlife Financial bridge loans. Seniors can have as many as six people cosign on the loan, and funds generally become available quickly for those approved. The money can then be used in the short term (up to one year) to pay for rent or move-in fees&nbsp;at&nbsp;an assisted living home or home care agency.&nbsp; Because of the short-term nature of these loans, seniors and their families&nbsp;should have a plan for long-term care in place before applying. To determine eligibility, Elderlife&nbsp;Financial considers credit scores, income, home equity and liquid assets. Because multiple family members can apply together, one person’s low credit score may&nbsp;not lead to disqualification.&nbsp;To apply, complete an online form at <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife&nbsp;Financial Services</a>&nbsp;or call (888) 228-4500.

<li>Be Bedridden</li>
<li>Live in a nursing home due to physical or mental inabilities</li>
<li>Be legally blind</li>
 Income&nbsp;limits include&nbsp;$22,577&nbsp;in annual income for a veteran with no dependents and $26,765 for a veteran with a spouse or child. To calculate income, the program allows applicants to deduct unreimbursed medical expenses.&nbsp;A net worth limit, which includes annual income but&nbsp;excludes the value of homes or vehicles, also exists of up to $126,000 for both single and married applicants.&nbsp; To apply, Lake Charles residents can write to their <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp#mil" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp#mil" rel="noopener noreferrer">regional pension management center</a>&nbsp;or visit their <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/benefits/offices.asp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/benefits/offices.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer">local benefit office</a>.&nbsp;
