Can Medicaid Pay for My Stay at an Assisted Living Facility?

By: Stella King, Esq.

In their journey through the golden years, many seniors find themselves in a gray area where they are past the point of living safely and independently in their homes, but not yet (or ever!) ready for the move to a skilled nursing facility. In these scenarios, an assisted living facility (ALF) presents a comfortable middle ground—particularly ALFs that offer different “tiers” (levels of care) should one require additional services as time goes on.

There are a myriad of ALFs to choose from, many of which present more like a luxury hotel than a care facility, offering gourmet dining, state-of-the-art fitness centers, cultural activities, high-end designs and, unfortunately, a hefty price to match. Indeed, the cost to reside at these lovely ALFs can be prohibitive for many. While most ALFs must be paid for privately, some permit a Medicaid-paid aide at the facility. If one can afford basic rent at the ALF, using Medicaid to pay an aide to assist them with their activities of daily living (instead of utilizing costly services at the ALF or higher levels of care) is one way to save money.
