The philosophy is to offer services to seniors without infringing on their freedom and autonomy. These complexes are designed for seniors who are able to live on their own, but desire the security and conveniences of community living. The communities offer an enriched lifestyle with organized social and recreational programs as a part of everyday activities. Care Health care is not provided with your normal fees, but many communities will allow you to pay for a home health aide or nurse to come into your home to assist you with medicines and personal care. Cost Plans usually include, but in some cases are optional, meals, housekeeping, laundry, van or scheduled transportation.
Most communities provide at least one group activity per day.
Payment Costs for retirement communities differ dependent upon services, region, and type of facility. For Profit facilities charge a set monthly fee, whereas non-profit communities may charge on a sliding scale dependent upon the resident's income. Medicare does not cover payment since no healthcare is provided. Let us help you prepare. Sure with the FREE First Aid Planner.
