Paying for elderly care can be difficult, but luckily, there are a number of ways to make assisted living affordable. With a little bit of help, you can smoothly transition your loved one in to a structured, social environment where assistance for daily life is readily available. 

Many families pay for assisted living with private funds, through a few different avenues including personal savings, pension funds, and retirement accounts. The National Council on Aging offers a senior program that helps to cover drug prescriptions, food, hearing care, dental care, vision coverage, and energy bills. Surprisingly, certain chronically ill seniors are able to receive significant tax deductions, which can go a long way.
