Understanding Your Options to Pay for Assisted Living

Many Michigan families are facing the challenge of affording assisted living for themselves or loved ones. The good news is there are various financial options available to help manage your costs. 

Understanding Your Options:

• Private Savings: This includes savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, investments, and retirement accounts (401(k), IRA).
• Selling a Home: Equity from selling your home can be a significant resource for assisted living.
• Long-Term Care Insurance: This insurance helps pay for assisted living costs. You should consider plans before age 55 for better premiums.

How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community

Do you have concerns about finding a senior living community with the right environment for your loved one?

At our senior living home, we cherish and celebrate the diversity of our residents, fostering a safe and inclusive community where LGBTQ elders can thrive with pride and dignity. 

Aging is a natural and beautiful part of life, a journey marked by wisdom, experiences, and resilience. For LGBTQ elders, this journey can come with unique challenges stemming from a lifetime of navigating social stigmas, discrimination, and invisibility. According to studies, LGBTQ older adults are more likely to live alone, face financial insecurities, and lack family support. 

With all these challenges in mind, we’re committed to creating an environment where every resident feels values, respected, and embraced for who they are. 

How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community 

Cultivating Respect and Acceptance: We believe that creating a culture of respect begins with education and training for our staff. We train our staff to care for everyone who lives at our retirement community. It’s important to understand how LGBTQ elders feel the way they feel and how we can make sure they’re comfortable. 

Supportive Services: LQBTQ elders may have specific needs related to healthcare, mental health, or social support. We offer access to a team of professionals to help our residents find comfort and help with personalized care and treatment. 

Safe Spaces: Our residents have access to hobbies and activities to help combat feelings of loneliness and boredom. These safe spaces encourage supportive relationships where they can gather, socialize, and express themselves without fear of judgement or discrimination.
