How to Pay for Assisted Living in Canton:
Assisted living facilities in Canton accept several types of payments, including state, federal and veterans’ benefits and private funds. By using a mix of funding sources, seniors can manage assisted living costs and avoid depleting personal assets.
- Medicaid: Qualifying Canton seniors pay for some assisted living services through three programs, including the Medicaid MI Choice waiver program, MI Health Link and Community Transition Services. Through these programs, seniors get financial assistance with assisted living move-in costs, personal care, meals and housekeeping services.
- Medicare: Medicare doesn’t apply to nonmedical custodial services, putting assisted living outside the program’s scope of coverage. However, the program does pay for medically necessary services residents receive, such as wound care, skilled nursing and physical or occupational therapies.
- VA Benefits: The VA provides financial assistance with assisted living services through the Geriatrics and Extended Care program, Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits. These programs help seniors pay for personal care services, transportation services and housing expenses.
- Private Payments: Assisted living facilities accept private payments for room and board, meals, recreational activities and transportation services. Private payment sources include monthly income, long-term care insurance and retirement savings.
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Canton
Low-income retirees in Canton may receive help paying for assisted living through Michigan's Medicaid waiver, which is called the MI Choice Waiver. Financial aid is also available to those with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) through Michigan’s Optional State Supplement (OSS) program.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on ourAssisted Living in Michigan page.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Canton
- Canton’s cost of living runs about 11% higher than the national norm. While this impacts assisted living costs, the Medicaid MI Choice waiver program and MI Health Link help qualified individuals pay for residential care.
- Canton offers convenient access to medical care for seniors, making it a favorable option for assisted living residents managing chronic health conditions. Two medical facilities sit within city limits, including Trinity Health Medical Center and VA Canton Clinic, and our proprietary Caring.com database finds over 70 local assisted living facilities that provide medical monitoring through staff nurses.
- Canton seniors can claim a large deduction to significantly reduce their state income tax liability, and Michigan provides a full deduction for Social Security benefits. This leaves more money in the bank for assisted living fees.
- High particle and ozone pollution levels earn the Canton region low marks from the American Lung Association. However, many assisted living facilities support residents’ health and comfort through air purification systems.
- Canton ranks as safer than 34% of U.S. cities, reporting about 13 crimes per 1,000 people annually and offering a safe environment for assisted living residents. Canton's crime rate runs below the norm for cities with similar population sizes, particularly in neighborhoods such as Canton South, Heritage Park and Cherry Hill South.
