Financial Options
We understand that one of the largest factors in making a decision to move into a private-pay care community like La Conner Retirement Inn is the monthly cost. We will work with you to try and find programs to assist you with your expenses and we’ll provide you with pricing options to best meet your needs.
Pay for What You Need Pricing: Our pricing ranges depending on care needs and choice of apartment. Our prices include our room charge, meals, housekeeping, laundering of linens, and activities. Our starting rates also include reminders for the activities of daily living. Read more about services available or contact us today to find out more about the pricing for your individual care needs.
Long-term Care Insurance: We’ve worked with a number of Long Term Care Insurance providers and can assist you in finding out what coverage you may have.
Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefits: The VA offers a little known benefit for Active Duty Veterans and their widows/widowers called Aid & Attendance. This benefit can assist with the payments for communities such as La Conner Retirement Inn. To get additional information, we recommend you contact a local Veterans Service Officer with the Washington Division of Veterans Affairs office.
