Cost of Assisted Living Comparison Chart

In Missoula, as in the rest of Montana, the cost of senior care will vary based on the type of care a senior needs. The most expensive care option in Missoula&nbsp;is&nbsp;nursing home care, which costs over $4,000 more per month than assisted living. Adult day health care, the most affordable option in the city, is approximately half the price of assisted living care. In-home senior care options, such as homemaker services and home health aides, cost about the same as assisted living care; however, seniors who opt for these in-home options should remember the&nbsp;additional costs associated with staying at home, such as utilities and home maintenance.&nbsp; Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Missoula

Optional State Supplement 
 
Seniors who receive federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments and reside in assisted living facilities may be eligible to receive additional funding from the state of Montana. This funding, known as the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssi_st_asst/2011/mt.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">optional state supplement (OSS)</a>, provides an additional monthly payment on top of the senior&rsquo;s regular SSI payments. Single seniors can receive up to $94 per month from OSS, while couples may receive as much as $193 per month. 
 
To be eligible for OSS, seniors must live in an assisted living facility and be SSI-eligible. Seniors are eligible for SSI if they are 65 years of age or older and have limited income and resources. A senior&rsquo;s SSI benefit is determined by deducting their <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-income-ussi.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">countable income</a> from the federal benefit rate ($750), so seniors must have an income below this rate to receive benefits. Single seniors can have up to $2,000 in resources, while the limit for couples is $3,000. 
 
To <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-apply-ussi.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apply for SSI benefits</a>&nbsp;or learn more about OSS, seniors can visit their local Social Security office. They can also call (800) 772-1213 to make an appointment to apply for benefits. This appointment can occur in person or over the phone. 
 
Veterans Affairs Aid and Assistance 
 
Eligible veterans and surviving spouses may be able to receive monthly assistance through the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/pension/aid_attendance_housebound.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Veterans Affairs Aid and Assistance program</a>. This program provides an increased monthly pension amount to seniors who are already receiving a VA pension. Seniors can use this funding to help pay for the costs of room and board in assisted living communities. 
 
To receive this increased pension benefit, seniors must be eligible for a VA pension. They must also require assistance with some activities of daily living, be bedridden, live in a nursing home or be legally blind. Seniors can apply for this benefit by visiting their <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/benefits/offices.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">local VA benefits office</a>. They may also submit a written request to the <a href="https://www.benefits.va.gov/PENSION/resources-contact.asp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pension Management Center</a> at the address below: 
 
St. Paul VA Regional Office 
Department of Veterans Affairs 
Claims Intake Center 
Attention: &nbsp;St. Paul Pension Center 
P.O. BOX 5365&nbsp; 
Janesville, WI &nbsp;53547-5365 
Fax: (844) 655-1604 
 
Seniors who have questions about this program can call (844) 698-2311 to speak to a Department of Veterans Affairs representative.

Medicaid is a government-run program that provides health coverage&nbsp;to eligible low-income people, including seniors, pregnant women and people with disabilities. Each state operates its own Medicaid program, so the benefits available to participants will vary depending on where they live. 
 
<a href="https://dphhs.mt.gov/MontanaHealthcarePrograms/MemberServices" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Montana Medicaid</a>, the state&rsquo;s Medicaid program, covers an assortment of benefits, such as doctor visits, home health services, mental health treatment, rehabilitative services and hospital and emergency services. Participants in Montana Medicaid may be required to pay a co-payment, depending on the services they are receiving and their annual household income. 
 
Seniors who live in Missoula may be <a href="https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1633" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eligible for coverage</a> through Montana Medicaid if they meet certain requirements. They must be 65 years of age or older, have a need for health care and&nbsp;have a low income. For single seniors, the Medicaid income limit is $12,140 per year before taxes. For couples, the limit is $16,460. To apply for Montana Medicaid, seniors can complete an <a href="https://www.healthcare.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">online application</a>. They can also apply over the phone by calling (800) 318-2596.&nbsp; 
 
Seniors who do not meet these income standards may still be able to qualify for Medicaid through the <a href="https://dphhs.mt.gov/Portals/85/hcsd/documents/mamanual/CMA002July012016.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medically Needy program</a>. Participants in this program may have an obligation to spend down their income to the Medically Needy net income level. For single seniors and couples, this is $525 per month. Seniors can meet their spend down obligation by paying their medical bills, paying their surplus income to the state or through a combination of these methods. 
 
<a href="https://dphhs.mt.gov/sltc/csb#147868309-montana-big-sky-waiver-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Montana Big Sky Waiver program</a> is a Medicaid waiver that may help seniors pay for assisted living care. This program is offered to seniors who have a medical need for nursing facility placement but who would prefer to live at home or in an assisted living facility. 
 
While this waiver program does not pay for room and board costs, it may pay for some of the services provided in assisted living facilities. The services covered by this waiver program include adult residential living, homemaker services, personal assistance, private duty nursing and specially trained attendants. This program is not an entitlement, and there is a waiting list before seniors can receive services. 
 
Seniors must be financially eligible for Medicaid coverage to participate in this waiver program. They must also have one or more unmet medical needs that cannot be resolved without receiving Big Sky services. Seniors can find out if they are eligible for this program by visiting their local <a href="https://dphhs.mt.gov/hcsd/OfficeofPublicAssistance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Office of Public Assistance</a>. 
 
In Missoula, this office is located at: 
2677 Palmer, Suite 100 
Missoula MT 59808 
 
Seniors who have questions about the program can call the Montana Public Assistance Helpline at (888) 706-1535.
