How to Apply 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. 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 help.

Residents should apply for benevolent care three to six months before exhausting available assets and resources. Residents who are interested will receive all the resources they need to apply, including an application form, instruction guide, question guide, and requested items form.

Residents must complete, sign and return the application as well as supply any supporting documentation to the Executive Director of the community the resident currently lives. Residents are also asked to update their financial status form each time they enter a different care level, such as moving from an apartment to assisted living. Due to the requirements of the benevolent care program, residents should expect to be open with their financial details.
