      What are Respite Stays?

      Respite stays are temporary, short-term stays that are generally breaks for caregivers where their loved ones stay in a care facility for a designated period. These stays can range from a few days to several weeks, providing caregivers with the opportunity to take time off to rest, attend to personal matters, or simply recharge.

      A Respite Stay also allows the senior care recipient to become more comfortable in a community-based environment and can be very helpful if a senior is considering a care facilty or senior community but hesitant about the decision.

      General Info About Independent Senior Living

      What Is Independent Senior Living?

      Independent Living Communities are a Senior housing option for those Seniors who are be ready to remove the responsibilities of caring for their home, but who need little to no assistance and have only minor medical issues. A resident of an Independent Living Community is 55 or over and relatively healthy. Most are physically and mentally capable of living alone without requiring assistance with day-to-day activities. However, those residents who may require some assistance with activities of daily living can use third-party in-home care services to meet those additional needs.

      Living accommodations are usually studio or one-bedroom apartments but some facilities have condominiums and even single-family residences. Common areas are accessible for residents to gather with other community members. Full-service dining is available and usually includes the ability to provide meals for those with special dietary needs. Social outings and entertainment events are usually organized by the facility's events administrator.

      Independent Senior Living Insurance Options

      Because assistance with daily activities (ADLs and LDLs) are not available within an independent living community, most Long Term Care Insurance companies will not pay for Independent Senior Living Communities or Senior Apartments. However, if you receive In-Home Care at your Independent Senior Living Apartment, that care is usually paid for by Long Term Care Insurance.

      Payment for Independent Living typically comes from private funds, including savings, pensions, Social Security benefits, proceeds from a reverse mortgage or sale of a home, and other personal funds. Because medical services are not provided in Independent Living Facilities, Medicare and Medicaid will not cover the cost.

      General Info About Assisted Living

      What Is Assisted Living?

      Candidates for Assisted Living usually need assistance in performing one or more activities of daily living. Assisted Living facilities will provide a number of services including help with bathing and dressing, meal preparation, housekeeping and laundry, and medication management. A person who wants to maintain some independence but may need help with bathing, walking, dressing, bed transfer, toileting, or eating may be a candidate for Assisted Living.

      Residents of Assisted Living Communities typically have their own private apartment and are usually provided with shared services of dining facilities, recreational and social activities, religious services and transportation to shopping, medical appointments and local events. There will be staff on site 24 hours a day, but residents can maintain the independence that suits their particular situation.

      Assisted Living Insurance Options

      Long-Term Care Insurance

      Many Long Term Care Insurance policies provide benefits toward the costs of Assisted Living expenses. While coverage specifics can vary based on the policy terms and conditions, long-term care insurance typically helps offset expenses related to assisted living, including accommodations, personal care services, and other support as needed. You can learn more about that here.

      Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefit

      Veterans and their spouses may be also eligible for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, which can cover part of the cost of Assisted Living expenses. The specific amount of Aid and Attendance benefits awarded to an individual is determined based on various factors, including the level of care needed, the applicant's income and assets, and their marital status. You can learn more about that here.

      General Info About Memory Care

      What Is Memory Care?

      A Memory Care facility is very similar to the lifestyle of the Assisted Living facility combined with the medical care and higher level of assistance normally found in Skilled Nursing. Attentive and expert care is provided at Memory Care Facilities. For the safety of the residents, security is strict at a Memory Care Facility. Coming and going is regulated by various security measures. This may include locks and alarms on exterior doors, in-room emergency alerts, and a locator device worn by each resident.

      Staff members are trained to work with people with memory issues. Programs are incorporated that keep residents on a regimented schedule. These programs are designed to help residents deal with the symptoms of Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Sundowners Syndrome.

      Memory Care Insurance Options

      Long-Term Care Insurance

      Many long-term care insurance policies cover Memory care services. It's essential to review the policy's coverage details carefully to understand what types of care are included. Many policies explicitly cover memory care services as part of their comprehensive long-term care benefits. However, coverage specifics can vary between policies, so it's crucial to verify that memory care services are explicitly mentioned in the policy language. You can learn more about that here.

      Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefit
