Help paying for care
Answer a few questions about an older adult and see which government and assistance programs may help pay for their care. Then print the worksheets, the list of papers to gather, and where to file.
- 24 programs: VA pensions and VA care at home, Medicaid at home or in a nursing home, PACE, Medicare Savings Programs, Extra Help with prescriptions, SSI, unclaimed Social Security, SNAP, energy bills, weatherization, Lifeline, property tax relief, drug makers' assistance, caregiver respite and the Area Agency on Aging.
- Filing kits, not just links: the official form numbers, every way to file, the local office, and a worksheet in the form's own order with the answers already filled in.
- Free help lines that never charge: SHIP Medicare counselors, the Eldercare Locator, VA, Social Security, 211.
Private by design
The check runs on the person's own device. Nothing typed is sent to Protect & Assist, and nothing is kept unless they choose to save it to an account.
Honest by design
Every result says why, links to the agency's own rules, and says "may qualify". Only the agency decides. Applying is always free.
Please share it. Put it in a bulletin, a family packet or a waiting room. Anyone may use it, for free, as often as they like.
Protect & Assist, Houston, Texas. We screen the calls to an older adult's phone so family hears about the ones that look like scams, and send medication reminder calls with family alerts. protectandassist.com
