These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.

Watertown’s older residents can turn to the following resources for support. Some make it possible to continue living in one’s home in a safe, dignified manner, thus delaying or preventing the need to move to a different setting. But when such a transition is necessary, other services are available to make the life change more manageable.
