There are many different types of long-term care, including:
- Nursing home care — Nursing home care is often the most expensive form of long-term care, and can be very disruptive to a senior's normal daily routine.
- Assisted living — Assisted living facilities offer more independence and privacy than nursing homes, but still provide some assistance with daily living activities.
- Residential care — Residential care is a specialized form of assisted living for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.

Funding Your Long-Term Care in Virginia
Long-term care can be very expensive, and most people don't have the resources to pay for it out of pocket. Fortunately, there are several ways to pay for long-term care, including:
- Private insurance — Long-term care insurance is a great way to pay for long-term care costs. However, many seniors have found that their policies are not as generous as they expected.
- Supplemental insurance — Supplemental insurance, such as a rider on life insurance policies, can provide additional coverage for long-term care.
- Medicaid — Medicaid is a form of public assistance for those who cannot afford long-term care costs. However, Medicaid is a complex program, and it is important to have an experienced attorney help you navigate the application process.
- Veterans benefits — Veterans may be eligible for additional benefits to help pay for long-term care.
- Estate planning — Long-term care planning is a crucial part of any estate plan. By naming a trusted individual as your guardian, you can ensure that your affairs are taken care of, and your loved one is provided with the care they need.
