Assisted living costs differ by location and facility, as many communities offer different levels of care, amenities, and activities. Prices also vary based on how much — or how little — assistance a senior needs.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Assisted living is long-term care for seniors who are generally active and independent, but who require increased supervision and help with some daily tasks. Staff can assist residents with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and medication management. Assisted living is also a good option for seniors seeking more socialization. Services and amenities in assisted living facilities often include:
An assisted living community is a residential living community which administers assistance, support, and care to self-sufficient persons who are not in need of skilled nursing care. The services offered often involve support with activities of daily living, and occupants may be kept under supervision and assessment. In certain situations, communities may offer continuing care, hospice care, or respite care. This type of community is required to offer a number of services, including:
The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Licensing and Regulatory Oversight licenses this type of community. Public assistance is available through Medicaid Aged and Disabled 1915(c) Waiver program. Before a resident is accepted, they must go through a service plan screening to make sure their needs are going to be met. This screening includes a number of areas of interest, including:
Staff members receive training in a variety of subjects, including residents’ rights, emergency procedures, the values of community-based care, and infection control.
