Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Fargo

North Dakota offers a state Medicaid program called Personal Care Service which provides assistance to those living in assisted living facilities, among other places a senior might be living in. Eligibility for this program is for those with very little income or net worth and an inability to do one of a number of daily activities, like take a bath, get dressed or use the bathroom on their own.  

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