Benevolent Care Can Help You Get the Care You Need
How to Apply for Benevolent Care
Applying for Benevolent Care
Part of what sets an Asbury community apart is having peace of mind in knowing that if you outlive your financial resources, through no fault of your own, you are eligible to apply for your community’s anonymous benevolent care fund, based on the terms set forth in your resident agreement. It speaks directly to the commitment we have for those we serve. If you or a loved one is interested in Benevolent Care at an Asbury community, we are here to answer your questions.
Residents should apply for benevolent care at least six months before exhausting available assets and resources. Residents who are interested in learning more should request a Benevolent Care Informational Packet, which includes an informational guide, application form, required documentation checklist, and information on the application and annual redetermination processes.
Residents must complete, sign and return the application as well as supply any required documentation to the Benefits and Eligibility Coordinator within a timely manner for continued consideration for the Benevolent Care program. Residents must participate in benevolent care redetermination process annually. Receipt of benevolent care in any one year does not automatically guarantee that the resident will qualify for benevolent care in any subsequent year. The resident’s needs, the needs of others in the community, and the long-term ability of the community to provide benevolent care at any specific level may alter the resident’s ability to qualify for benevolent care in any given year. Due to the requirements of the benevolent care program, residents should expect to be open with their financial details.
