Research shows that senior living communities promote healthy aging through structured social time, access to health and wellness classes, continuing education courses, volunteer opportunities, healthful meals without the stress of prep and cleanup, access to transportation and reduced risk for falls and other major health issues with apartments designed for seniors.
Assisted living is a senior living community that offers long-term care for older adults who need additional support. Assisted living communities provide housing, personal care and services, activities and on-site healthcare while still promoting maximum independence.
Memory Care is a senior living community that offers an environment specializing in cognitive impairment conditions including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and other related Dementias. Memory Care communities provide a safe environment and specialized life enrichment to engage all levels of declining cognition with the supervision of a specialized team.
Assisted living residents are typically seniors who could benefit from help with common household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. In addition, help with activities of daily living including dressing, bathing, toileting, etc. Our staff can help guide you with recommendations for you or your loved one, given current lifestyle, health and needs. The move-in process and development of a care plan includes an evaluation by our nurse, input from you or your loved one’s current PCP and input from you as a family.
Memory care residents are those with memory or cognitive-related conditions, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. We do not have an age requirement for memory care residents.
We can help determine the best care plan for you or your loved one based on individual needs and stage of the condition.
Assisted living caters to older adults who can still live relatively independently but would benefit from help with activities of daily living such as housekeeping, cooking and medication management. Memory care communities cater to those with cognitive conditions by providing a more structured environment, activities and routine to meet the resident’s unique cognitive needs.
At Vineyard, our pricing is customized for the individual care and assistance required by each resident. When you do receive a pricing quote, remember that assisted living encompasses all regular “life” expenses, i.e., rent/mortgage, utilities, meals, activities and more. Contact your nearest community to learn more about pricing options.
Generally, Medicare does not cover expenses associated with the costs of living or long-term care such as assisted living, independent living or memory care communities.
Medicare benefits typically only pay for short-term care, learn more about Medicare coverage here.
Medicaid coverage and eligibility vary state-by-state and depend on individual income and financial background. Medicaid can cover some of the costs associated with assisted living, memory care, independent living or long-term care, but it’s very much a case-by-case basis.
For a broad idea of each state’s coverage, refer to this resource. Please consult your state’s Medicaid office or a licensed professional to discuss potential Medicaid benefits.
