Private Insurance
There are very few private insurance programs, if any, that will pay for long-term care services without very specific and expensive long-term care provisions. Double check with your insurance carrier if you are unsure.
Medicaid
In Utah, Medicaid has a program called New Choices Waiver, a fee for service program that will pay for the services that are provided by Heritage Home, but does not cover the cost of Room and Board.
To qualify for New Choices Waiver, the person must meet the following provision:
1. Has less than $2000 in total assets
2. Has had a continuous 90 day+ stay in a nursing home or has the ability to pay the current private pay rate during the first 12 months at our home.
3. Requires Assisted Living services. This means that the person is well enough to leave the nursing home, but not well enough to live on their own. They must qualify in 2 of 3 areas of service.
War Veterans
Veterans or the spouse of a veteran may qualify for aid and attendance. To qualify, the veteran must have served during war time. Please contact your local VA office for more information.

We have found that meeting with a non-paid representitive is the best way to navigate the necessary paperwork. Generally, the representitive is available at DWS on Thurdays at 11:30am (first come first serve). Please call for more information.
Medicare
Medicare does not pay for assisted living services, but may pay for the first 21 days of nursing home care.
