Kansas Programs That Help Pay for Assisted Living
KanCare Frail Elderly (FE) Waiver
The FE Waiver can cover services in assisted living for eligible members.
Aid & Attendance in Kansas
The benefit is paid to the Kansas veteran or surviving spouse, not the community, so it can go toward any assisted living bill. It is not federally taxable.
The family home
Many Kansas families rent out or sell the house. VA counts sale proceeds as assets, so plan the timing.
Long-term care insurance
Older policies often pay a daily amount for assisted living in Kansas. Check the elimination period before move-in.
