Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Grand Rapids

Seniors in Grand Rapids may be eligible to receive assistance from the <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71551_2945_42542_42543_42549-87437--,00.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly</a>. This program finances all services covered by&nbsp;Medicaid and Medicare, such as hospital services and nursing facility services, but it does not include room and board in assisted living facilities. 
 
To be eligible for assistance through PACE, seniors must meet Medicaid&rsquo;s long-term care eligibility criteria, which is determined based on a medical assessment. They must also be able to safely live at home, in an assisted living facility or elsewhere in the community. Seniors who are already enrolled in a Health Maintenance Organization&nbsp;or the MI Choice waiver aren&rsquo;t eligible for PACE. 
 
To apply for this program, seniors can contact the PACE organization that serves Grand Rapids:

Optional State Supplement 
 
Seniors who receive federal Supplemental Security Income&nbsp;benefits and live in an assisted living facility qualify to receive additional financial assistance from the state of Michigan. This <a href="https://dhhs.michigan.gov/OLMWEB/EX/RF/Public/RFT/248.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">optional state supplement</a>&nbsp;can help cover the costs of assisted living care.

To qualify for OSS, seniors must live in an assisted living facility and be <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-eligibility-ussi.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eligible for SSI</a> benefits. Limited income and limited resources are the main eligibility criteria for&nbsp;SSI. Seniors need to have a <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-income-ussi.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">countable income</a> of less than $750 to receive SSI benefits, and their benefit amount is calculated by deducting their countable income from the maximum benefit amount ($750). Countable income covers many types of income, including wages, Social Security benefits or cash from relatives. Resources, which include assets such as cash and personal property, are limited to $2,000 for single seniors and $3,000 for couples. 
 
Seniors can make an appointment to <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-apply-ussi.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apply for SSI benefits</a> by calling the Social Security Administration at 1 (800) 772-1213.

Seniors may also be eligible if they are legally blind or have a disability that requires them to stay in bed. Seniors who reside in nursing homes may also qualify.

Medicaid is a government-run health insurance program that provides health coverage to low-income adults, people with disabilities, elderly adults and other groups of eligible Americans. Each state operates its own Medicaid program, so the benefits available to Medicaid recipients vary from one state to another. <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71547_4860_78446_78447_78454-407318--,00.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michigan Medicaid</a> covers a variety of necessary services, such as doctor visits, emergency services, home health care, nursing home care and physical therapy. 
 
To qualify for Michigan Medicaid, seniors must be U.S. nationals, U.S. citizens or permanent residents who live in Michigan. They must also meet certain <a href="https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1221" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">financial requirements</a>. Single seniors need to have a pretax annual household income of less than $16,146 to be eligible. The maximum annual income for a couple is $21,892. 
 
Seniors who are interested in Michigan Medicaid can apply through the state&rsquo;s online portal, <a href="https://newmibridges.michigan.gov/s/isd-landing-page?language=en_US" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MI Bridges</a>. The state also offers a <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdch/DCH-1426-Application_for_Health_Coverage__Help_Paying_Costs_with_Appendix_A-B-C_452146_7.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paper application</a> for seniors who can&rsquo;t apply online.
