When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Myrtle Beach and 38 other cities in South Carolina.
Low-income seniors in Myrtle Beach may be able to take advantage of a Medicaid program called Community Long Term Care (CLTC). This initiative, run by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, promotes freedom of choice, allowing seniors who would otherwise be placed in a nursing home to explore other options, including assisted living.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in South Carolina 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:
