Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Assisted Living?
A. An Assisted Living Residence is a housing facility that
offers support and services in health care designed to meet
the needs of those who need help with activities of daily
living (ADL) such as bathing, dressing, eating and
monitoring medications.
Q. Is Assisted Living covered by Medicare?
A. Medicare does not cover assisted living specifically, but will continue to pay the direct medical
coverage of residents, such as doctor's visits, qualifying hospital stays and therapies.
Q. How is the bill paid?
A. Residents or families generally pay the cost from their own financial resources. Some types of health
insurance or long-term care insurance may reimburse for all or a portion of the cost. We will be happy to
review costs and offer assistance to ensure that all financial avenues are researched for each resident.
Q. How is the cost determined?
A. The cost is based on the type of care and the types of services each resident requires. Before a
resident moves into the residence, an assessment of needs is completed and the specific cost is shared
with the resident and their family members.
Q. What is the length of commitment?
A. There is no long-term commitment. All rent is on a month-to-month basis. A 30 day notice is required
before a resident can move out, unless there is a specific change in the resident's health care status that
requires a more intense medical regiment.
Q. Are Residents allowed to have pets?
A. Because we value the time-tested connection people have with their pets, we invite you to have your
small pet live with you at our community. We want you to smile, laugh, and feel good! We accept most
small pets, and have minimal deposit requirements to make the necessary accommodations. Please
call or email us through the contact form for more details.
Q. May residents decorate their own apartments?
A. The residents' apartments are their home. Furnishing and decorating are the responsibility of the
resident and their family, or friends. The staff is available to assist with any logistical concerns. If you have
more questions about decoration, don't hesitate to ask!
Q. May I have friends come and visit?
A. Residents' friends and family are always welcome. If staying for a meal, a prior notice is required, and
there is no charge for this service. Residents are also encouraged to have celebrations or meetings in
one of the many common areas. Contact us for more information.
Q. Do you accept Medicaid?
A. Residents or families generally pay the cost from their own financial resources. Some types of health
insurance or long-term care insurance may reimburse for all or a portion of the assisted living cost.
Residents must qualify financially and physically to be eligible. To find out more information about the
Medicaid Program, please contact us and we will help in any way we can.
