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.

Breaking down reverse mortgage for senior care in Rochester Hills
A reverse mortgage can convert home equity into income to fund in-home care or a community move, and it can be a fit when one spouse remains in the home. The cautions are real: fees are significant, the balance grows over time, and the loan comes due when the last borrower leaves the home — which makes it a poor fit if a move to assisted living is imminent. Treat it as one option among several, not a default.
