Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Belvidere

Some seniors may qualify for financial aid through the state's Supportive Living Program (SLP), which is a type of Medicaid waiver. Not all assisted living facilities in the Belvidere area accept state funding. It's a good idea to check with a prospective facility to see if it is on the SLP-approved list. The SLP waiver helps pay for personal care services but does not cover the cost of room and board.
