Sources Vernon families combine

Most families layer several sources rather than relying on one. Savings and Social Security usually lead the way, with a long-term-care policy — if there's one in place — coming in behind them. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through VA Connecticut Healthcare System's Newington campus. And for those who meet the state's income and asset tests, the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) can help fund care at home, while HUSKY C Medicaid can help fund a nursing-home stay — though neither pays MRC room and board for assisted living. Vernon pricing runs below the metro median, more in line with Bristol and Enfield than with the towns immediately around Hartford.
