Upon admission to New Hope Manor you will meet with our Social Services Coordinator to discuss your current social services status and general financials. If you currently do not have an active Temporary Assistance (TA) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) case, our Social Services Coordinator will assist you in applying for these benefits. If you currently have an open TA and/or SNAP case, there will be minimal paperwork that will need to be submitted for you to continue receiving your benefits. TA and SNAP benefits consist of Room and Board, Personal Needs Allowance (PNA), and financial support for meals. The Room and Board and SNAP portions of your benefits are payable to New Hope Manor to help support your stay here. The Personal Needs Allowance will be deposited into your PNA account which is set up and held by New Hope Manor. It is possible that you will only get partial Temporary Assistance for Room and Board depending on your financial circumstances. In this case, your local Department of Social Services will determine what portion of Room and Board you will be responsible for during your stay.

If your application for Temporary Assistance is denied in full, we will review the reasons for the denial, and you will be defaulted to our Self Pay Sliding Scale Fee. This low-cost sliding scale fee is based on your household size, household income, and assets. Once it is determined where you fall on the sliding scale, you will be required to pay a low cost, individualized monthly fee for the Room and Board portion of your stay.
