Sources Bensalem families combine
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.

What shapes life insurance conversion for senior care here
Some families convert an existing life-insurance policy into a long-term-care benefit account rather than surrendering it for cash value or letting it lapse. The conversion pays a monthly benefit toward care, often at more than the cash-surrender value, and the funds are typically tax-advantaged when used for qualified care. It's worth pricing against simply keeping or borrowing against the policy.
