Paying for care
Paying for assisted living in District of Columbia
Our guide to how families pay for assisted living goes deeper on each option below.
Private pay options
Most families pay privately at first, from income, savings, a home sale or a reverse mortgage. Long-term care insurance can help if the policy covers assisted living, so check the daily benefit, the waiting (elimination) period and what counts as a qualifying need. Care costs for someone who is chronically ill and on a plan of care may be tax-deductible above 7.5% of adjusted gross income.2
VA benefits
Wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities may qualify for the VA pension with Aid and Attendance, which can go toward assisted living.
