What shapes how to pay for senior care here
Almost no Pennsylvania family pays for care from one source. The common sequence is private savings and Social Security first, then long-term-care insurance if it exists, then VA Aid & Attendance for eligible veterans, and finally Community HealthChoices as assets draw down. Mapping that timeline early — before a crisis — is what keeps families from overspending on the wrong setting.
How Abington families cover it
Most families layer several sources rather than relying on one. Usually it starts with private savings and Social Security, and long-term-care insurance kicks in next if there's a policy in place. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center. And Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC), along with the LIFE program, can cover care services — though not room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment. Abington pricing runs near the metro median.
