How to pay for assisted living in Queens

Many families in Queens pay for assisted living by combining personal savings, proceeds from the sale of a home, long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and New York State’s Medicaid programs. Using a mix of private and public resources can make assisted living more affordable and help ensure your loved one receives the right care — with greater financial peace of mind.

Private pay options

Families often use a combination of personal income and assets to help pay assisted living expenses. Common sources include:

Social Security benefits
Pension payments
Retirement account distributions (e.g., 401k, 401a and 403b, Roth, and others)
Health saving accounts
Proceeds from selling a home or other real estate
Proceeds from a reverse mortgage
Long-term care insurance
Certain kinds of life insurance policies

Many families choose to share the cost of assisted living. Adult children or other relatives may each contribute toward monthly expenses such as rent, meals, and personal care services. This shared approach can make assisted living more affordable and help ensure your loved one continues to receive compassionate care in a comfortable, supportive environment.

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a range of programs designed to help eligible veterans and their surviving spouses cover the cost of assisted living. Commonly used benefits include:

Veterans Pension
Aid and Attendance
Disability Compensation

Surviving spouses may also be eligible for Survivors Pension or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, both of which can ease the financial burden of assisted living expenses.

Because the application process involves detailed documentation and strict eligibility requirements, even minor mistakes can lead to delays or denials. Partnering with a VA-accredited benefits counselor can help streamline the process and ensure your loved one receives the support they need.

Resources for veterans in Queens

Nearly 35,000 veterans live in Queens.^[03] To support them, and their families, several area organizations provide help and guidance. They include:

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps people with limited income access health and long-term care services. New York State Medicaid offers several programs that eligible seniors can use to offset the costs of assisted living.^[04]

The following programs are entitlements, meaning that all seniors who meet eligibility requirements will receive services:{{citations:5,6,7,8,9}}

Disabled, Aged 65+ or Blind (DAB) Medicaid, also known as NON-MAGI (modified adjusted gross income) Medicaid
Personal Care Services (PCS) Program
New York Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) Program Waiver
Community First Choice Option

The New York Assisted Living Program, which provides similar services as the programs mentioned above, is not an entitlement program, so eligible residents may be put on a waiting list.

Services typically covered by New York’s regular state Medicaid plan and its various programs include:

Medical, dental, and vision care
Inpatient and outpatient hospital care
Help with activities of daily living (ADLs)
Physical, occupational, and speech therapies
Recreational programs
Transportation
Daily meals
Housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation

Eligibility is based on both medical and financial criteria. Families exploring Medicaid should take time to review all available programs and requirements to ensure the option they choose aligns with their loved one’s specific needs and level of care.

Medicaid resources in Queens, NY

New York residents can apply for Medicate through:

To apply for one or more of the state’s Medicaid waiver programs, New York Medicaid recipients have the following options:

Online at NY State of Health: The Official Health Plan Marketplace
Through a Managed Care Organization (MCO)

Medicare

Medicare offers health insurance to adults aged 65 and older, as well as to younger individuals with qualifying medical conditions such as ALS or kidney failure.^[09] Although it doesn’t pay for assisted living costs, Medicare can ease the financial burden of medical care by covering prescriptions, durable medical equipment, and other approved health services. These benefits can provide stability and reassurance, helping your loved one maintain their well-being while you focus on guiding and supporting their care journey.
