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.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Illinois page.
