The cost to veteran Assisted Living residents is calculated based upon the amount of each resident's income. In most cases, veteran Assisted Living residents are permitted to keep 10% of their net monthly income as a spending allowance, and pay a monthly cost of 90% of their net income. "Net income" is defined as a resident's gross income from all sources, less any costs for health care insurance, and/or court-ordered payments.
Non-veteran spouse Assisted Living residents are required to pay the full cost of their care, prescriptions, and ancillary services. The actual daily rate will depend upon the level of care the resident requires. For the period of July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, the Assisted Living daily rates are $112.50 for level I, $127.00 for level II, and $155.00 for level three. The level of care is determined prior to admission, but is subject to change after admission, dependant upon changes in the resident's condition.
