Senior care costs vary depending on many factors, including the type of care. Assisted living in Niagara Falls costs an average of $3,895 per month, while seniors who require a nursing home level of care can expect to pay nearly three times this amount. Seniors who wish to remain in their own homes may consider homemaker services or home health aides, at $4,385 and $4,690, respectively. Both are more expensive than assisted living, and it’s important to remember that these prices only include care. Other costs involved with staying at home may include rent, mortgage payments, maintenance or food, depending on a senior’s situation.

Medicaid is a government-sponsored program that helps low-income people access the healthcare they need. Seniors, children and pregnant women are some of the groups that Medicaid assists. While the federal government contributes to the cost of Medicaid, each state runs its own program. New York Medicaid covers many services, including:
New York State Supplement Program
Niagara Falls seniors may be eligible to receive monthly cash assistance through the New York State Supplement Program. The maximum monthly SPP allowance for seniors in assisted living is $405. Those who earn other income receive a lower monthly benefit amount.
To be eligible for this monthly funding, Niagara Falls seniors must be 65 or older and either citizens or qualified aliens. In addition, they need to have limited income and resources.
To receive SSP, contact the Social Security Administration to apply for federal Supplemental Security Income benefits. This application is shared with New York State, which determines eligibility for SSP. You can apply for SSI by contacting your local Social Security Office or by phoning (800) 772-1213.
Assisted Living Bridge Loans
Some seniors may only need short-term funding to pay for assisted living. These people may want to consider Elderlife Financial bridge loans. These loans have terms of up to 18 months, and they are usually offered as a line of credit. Each month, seniors choose how much money to withdraw, and Elderlife Financial sends that money directly to the assisted living facility. The loan may also be provided as a lump sum.
Seniors who are interested in this funding source can complete an online bridge loan application. To complete the application, seniors need to provide the name of the assisted living facility where they plan to live as well as the monthly cost of care. Elderlife Financial also asks seniors how they will pay back the bridge loan. Seniors may plan to repay the loan through a home sale or financial asset liquidation.
To learn more about assisted living bridge loans or to apply over the phone, call (888) 228-4500.
