Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, this  conversation should first happen while everyone is healthy and mobile.  The best time to begin the conversation is NOW. 


Every person has  different circumstances and so there is not a one-size-fits-all  residential solution. If current or future healthcare is a top priority,  a full service senior living community may be preferable. 


Some people take longer  than others. Many older adults who make the “sudden announcement” about  relocating report to have been privately considering it for up to two  years or more. Unless there is a crisis or other compelling reason to  move quickly, it is typically best to allow older adults to process the  decision in their own time. 


Visit all available  communities that offer needed or desired services and amenities within  your geographic area and then re-visit them. This is not a decision that  should be made in a rush, so take the time necessary to feel confident  in your choice. 


Assisted living  communities provide various levels of care, some of which may be covered  by certain long-term care insurance policies. If you have this type of  insurance, contact the company in advance and inquire as to whether your  policy has an assisted-living benefit. Veteran’s aid and attendance  benefits can also be applied toward assisted living care (veteranaid.org). Some, but few, assisted living communities accept Medicaid.
