Your loved one’s financial resources will go further at The Ashford.

Your Financial Resources
Lessen your loved one’s worries over how to pay for assisted living. With The Ashford, you’ll gain the opportunity to tap into several financial assistance options.
Unlike independent living facilities, The Ashford is a residential care facility under Ohio’s laws and an assisted living facility through the Ohio Department of Health.
This means your loved one can benefit from…
- Private long-term care insurance. If your family member has a long-term care insurance policy, this can fund his or her assisted living expenses. Pay close attention if your parent currently receives a pension. Sometimes, pension benefits can include a long-term care insurance policy your loved one is unaware of.
- Veteran’s benefits. With the Aid & Attendance benefit, your family member can qualify for over $1,500 per month for assisted living support. Financial assistance under this provision also extends to the spouses of veterans.
The Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program. In Ohio, your loved one may be eligible for support through Medicaid. To learn more, go to the Ohio Department of Aging.
The Ashford is certified to provide service under the Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver Program, and is accepting residents eligible for this funding source. The Ashford of Grove City does not accept the Medicaid waiver. Please discuss this program with our Executive Director.
