The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas

Senior care rates in Oshkosh vary depending on the category of care and other factors, such as the number of service hours provided and whether skilled services are required. Those who need 24-hour nursing home care can expect to pay about 70% more than the average monthly&nbsp;cost of&nbsp;assisted living. At first glance, in-home services from a homemaker or home health aide appear to cost about 10% less than assisted living. For a realistic cost comparison of in-home and residential care options, it’s important to add on amounts paid for regular household expenses, such as utilities, upkeep and groceries, that are typically included in assisted living facility fees.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Oshkosh

Assisted Living Bridge Loan Making the transition to assisted living can leave seniors strapped for cash while waiting for government benefits to begin or the sale of a home or other assets. Seniors who need a short-term source of funds to pay for facility entrance fees, monthly rent and care costs should consider applying for a bridge loan through&nbsp;Elderlife Financial. These loans have a maximum term of 12 months and are structured as a line of credit with interest-only monthly payments. There are no upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs, and up to six family members can share the application to increase the likelihood of approval.

<a href="https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/index.htm" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/index.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wisconsin Medicaid</a> operates within the framework of the federal <a href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.medicaid.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid program</a>, which delivers health care coverage to one&nbsp;in five Americans. Over 900,000 Wisconsin residents receive low-cost or free medical and long-term care services through the program. To qualify for coverage, Oshkosh residents must: <ul>
<li>Be a U.S. citizen or qualified immigrant</li>
<li>Be aged 65 or older, or disabled if younger</li>
<li>Have an income of $2,313 or less per month</li>
<li>Have a maximum of $2,000 in assets</li>
</ul> It’s important to note that all types of income count toward the limit, including wages, Social Security and VA benefits, pension payments, rental income, IRA withdrawals and investment dividends.&nbsp;Several asset types don’t count, such as a primary residence valued at less than $858,000, household and personal effects, one vehicle and burial plots. The state program offers a Medicaid deductible plan that may help over-income seniors with high medical expenses qualify for coverage. A deductible is determined by reducing an applicant’s income by the program’s current income limit (presently $591.67). Once this amount is spent on medical expenses, the applicant becomes eligible for Medicaid coverage for a period of six months. Oshkosh residents can <a href="https://access.wisconsin.gov/access/accessController?id=0.07556040398839259" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://access.wisconsin.gov/access/accessController?id=0.07556040398839259" rel="noopener noreferrer">apply for Medicaid</a> coverage online or call&nbsp;<a href="https://access.wisconsin.gov/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://access.wisconsin.gov/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wisconsin Access</a> member services at (800) 362-3002 to learn more or receive help submitting an application. In an effort to reduce the number of nursing home admissions and the overall cost of long-term care, Wisconsin Medicaid offers two waiver programs that cover a variety of services and supports for Medicaid-eligible seniors wishing to remain in the community.

The program provides the services of a case manager to help enrollees develop their own services and supports plan and matching budget. Participants can use their budgeted funds to pay for goods and services of their choosing. These might include: <ul>
<li>Nursing services</li>
<li>Residential care</li>
<li>Prepared meals</li>
<li>Assistance with personal care</li>
<li>Medical equipment and supplies</li>
<li>Assistive technology</li>
<li>Nonmedical transportation</li>
</ul> To qualify for the IRIS program, applicants must be aged 64 or younger and disabled or over age 65 and in need of a nursing facility level of care.

The program allows seniors to receive services where they live, such as&nbsp;a community-based residential care facility. Covered supports and services can include: <ul>
<li>Care coordination</li>
<li>Assistance with activities of daily living</li>
<li>Residential services</li>
<li>Medical transportation</li>

<li>Transitional assistance</li>
</ul> To qualify for the Family Care program, applicants must be 65 or older or 64 or younger and disabled. They must also be assessed as needing daily assistance to maintain their independence and avoid admission to a nursing home.
