How to pay for independent living in Seattle

Most people use a combination of Social Security benefits, personal savings, retirement accounts, pensions, or proceeds from the sale of assets to cover monthly costs and maintain their independent lifestyle. Since independent living communities don’t include personal or medical care services, residents typically pay out of pocket for their living expenses.

Private pay options

Personal income and assets that families often use to pay for independent living include:

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

VA benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers several programs designed to support eligible seniors who have served in the military and their families. Common benefits that may be used to help pay for independent living include:

Veterans Pension or Survivors Pension
Disability Compensation
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)

If you or your spouse ever need extra support while living independently, in-home care services can often be arranged right in your community. You may also qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, which can help cover the cost of these additional care services.

Because the VA application process can be complex, it’s best to start early and work with a VA-accredited benefits counselor. They can help ensure your paperwork is complete, guide you through eligibility requirements, and make sure you receive the benefits you’ve earned.

Resources for veterans in Seattle

Over 20,000 veterans live in Seattle, and many are age 65 or older.^[03] To help these veterans and their families access the benefits and care they’ve earned, several local organizations and agencies offer personalized guidance and support. Consider reaching out to:

Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps people with limited income and assets afford essential health and long-term care services. In Washington, it’s known as Apple Health. While Medicaid won’t cover room and board in independent living, eligible residents can use it to help pay for personal and health care services.

Apple Health offers long-term care support through several programs, including:

Community Options Program Entry System (COPES): COPES is a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver that covers personal and health care services for eligible adults.^[04]
Community First Choice Option (CFCO): An entitlement program, CFCO lets participants choose their care providers and receive assistance wherever they live — including in an independent living community.^[05]
Medicaid Personal Care (MPC): MPC is an entitlement program that pays for personal care services in any living setting.^[06]
Tailored Supports for Older Adults (TSOA): A program for adults age 55 and older who don’t qualify for Medicaid, TSOA helps cover the cost of personal care services; however, because it’s not an entitlement program, funding is limited, and waitlists may apply.^[07]

Medicaid resources in Seattle, WA

Washington provides several ways for residents to apply for Apple Health:

Online using Washington Connection
In person at a local Department of Social and Health Services office
By phone at 877-501-2233
By mail or fax after completing an application

Medicare

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for adults age 65 and older, as well as younger individuals with certain disabilities or medical conditions such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or ALS.^[08] While Medicare won’t cover the cost of independent living, it can help pay for medically necessary care and services a resident may need — including prescription medications, durable medical equipment, and other approved treatments received while living in an independent living community.

What we really saw that was positive is the staff, from the front end staff, to the director, who is excellent to work with. They have excellent communication. We get emails all the time with any updates. They're close by to medical facilities, so that's been a Godsend. The shuttle service ...

Be cautious of what they tell you when you're moving in. They told me they would evaluate me to make sure I could be at the rate I was paying. They never did that. I was in much worse shape when I first got there and thought I would be getting more care. Nobody really came in to talk to me ...
