How Clinton Township families cover it
Most families layer several sources rather than relying on one. Private savings and Social Security typically lead, and long-term-care insurance follows when a policy is already in place. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center. And Michigan's MI Choice Waiver (with MI Health Link for dual-eligible seniors in Wayne and Macomb counties) can cover care services — though not room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment.

How to Pay for Senior Care: what drives the number
Almost no Michigan family pays for care from one source. The common sequence is private savings and Social Security first, then long-term-care insurance if it exists, then VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans, and finally the MI Choice Waiver as assets draw down. Mapping that timeline early — before a crisis — is what keeps families from overspending on the wrong setting.
