What shapes ssi coverage for senior care here
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides modest monthly income for low-asset older adults and, in DC, Maryland, and Virginia alike, generally travels with Medicaid eligibility. On its own SSI won't cover facility costs, but paired with a jurisdiction's home- and community-based waiver it can make in-home care or a participating community affordable.
