Medicaid Assisted Living Coverage: what drives the number

Michigan Medicaid does not pay room and board in a Home for the Aged or Adult Foster Care setting, which surprises many families. What the MI Choice Waiver can cover is the personal-care and support-services portion in a participating home for seniors who meet a nursing-facility level of care and Michigan's income and asset limits. The resident typically applies Social Security income to rent and meals, with the waiver covering care on top.

Ways to pay in Novi

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.
