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 Sioux Falls and 3 other cities in South Dakota.
There are limited resources when it comes to financial assistance for assisted living care in the state of South Dakota; however, the South Dakota Medicaid Home and Community-Based Options and Person Centered Excellence Waiver does provide assistance to eligible seniors for care within an assisted living facility. This is not an entitlement program which means that there is a cap to the number of people who may be helped. Eligible seniors may spend time on a wait list before they receive financial assistance.Â
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in South Dakota 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:
