    Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in West Plains

    To help ease the financial burden of assisted living, seniors in West Plains have access to funding through Missouri's Medicaid State Plan Personal Care authority. MO HealthNet covers the cost of personal care services in both ALFs and RCFs, and provides a monthly cash grant to help with other living expenses. Seniors can also apply for an optional state supplement (OSS) to help pay for room and board.

    Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Missouri 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:

    • Veterans Benefits
    • Life Insurance Policy
    • Long-Term Care Insurance
    • Reverse Mortgage
