Bridging the Gap to Safe Long-Term Care
The Golden Gap Foundation helps low-income Utah seniors and veterans access safe, dignified assisted living during the financial gap before long-term benefits begin.
Why the Gap Exists
Many people qualify for long-term support—but can’t afford the short waiting period required to access it. That delay puts safety, health, and dignity at risk.
Medicaid Bridge: New Choices Waiver
For low-income seniors likely to qualify for Utah’s New Choices Waiver, we help cover the temporary gap so they can move into assisted living now—not months later.

Many low-income veterans qualify for VA Aid & Attendance, but still face upfront care costs during the approval window. We provide short-term bridge support so veterans can access safe care while benefits are finalized.

- ✔ Temporary financial assistance for assisted living
- ✔ Support during benefits processing delays (Medicaid or VA)
- ✔ Dignified, immediate placement for those who already qualify but can’t “bridge” the gap alone
Your Impact
$250 covers one week of assisted living support
$1,250 covers one month of care
Your gift directly helps cover the monthly difference between a resident’s income and the cost of assisted living during the bridge period—until long-term support begins.
