Senior Living Costs 2025 (NJ & PA)

What Are the Main Ways to Pay for Assisted Living?

  1. Private Pay (Out of Pocket) - Many residents use a combination of savings, pensions, Social Security, and family contributions to cover assisted living costs.

  2. Long-Term Care Insurance - Policies vary, but some cover a portion or all of assisted living expenses. It’s crucial to review the policy early to determine coverage and eligibility.

  3. VA Benefits (Aid & Attendance Program) - Veterans and their spouses may qualify for monthly financial assistance to help offset the cost of assisted living.

  4. Reverse Mortgages - Homeowners 62+ can convert home equity into cash, providing funds to pay for care while allowing the spouse to remain in the home if necessary.

  5. Bridge Loans & Home Equity Loans - These short-term solutions can help cover costs while waiting for a home sale, VA benefits, or other financial assistance to process.

  6. Continuing Care at Home Programs - Some assisted living communities offer prepaid care models where seniors pay an upfront fee and monthly costs, securing future care needs in a predictable financial structure.

  7. Medicaid (Limited Availability) - Medicaid rarely covers assisted living in New Jersey, and in Pennsylvania, it never does. Typically, Medicaid is used for skilled nursing care.
