In Michigan, lower-income seniors can use Medicaid to pay for assisted living. Michigan assesses seniors' eligibility for Medicaid on an individual basis, taking into account their income, care and medical expenses, and their cost of living. However, Michigan, unfortunately, does not offer any non-Medicaid financial assistance programs to help seniors meet the costs of assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Michigan page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
