How Farmington Hills 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.

SSI Coverage for Senior Care: what drives the number
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides modest monthly income for low-asset older adults and, in Michigan, generally comes bundled with Medicaid eligibility. On its own SSI won't cover facility costs, but paired with the MI Choice Waiver it can make a participating Adult Foster Care home or in-home care affordable. The asset limits are strict, so review resources before applying.
