For seniors who qualify, the program can pay their costs if the facility is an approved provider. The senior will need to provide evidence that assisted living care is the most appropriate for their needs.

Seniors can get unbiased information, advice, and support from counselors, who can help them identify gaps in their coverage and the Medicare plans that can resolve them. This might include discussions about private health care insurance. However, the counselors won’t try to sell insurance to seniors. |

Its work includes educating seniors about their rights and investigating complaints about facilities made by them, their families and third parties.
