- Your parent may be a better match for a long term assisted living facility rather than a nursing home. But what is an Assisted Living Facility? This video will share with you everything that you need to know about assisted living facilities to help you decide if they are the best choice for your parent. An Assisted living facility for the elderly can a safe home for your parent which can include special personal care services so they can stay independent as long as possible. I will cover what is included in an assisted living facility and what services you need to pay extra for. I will also discuss what are some of the differences between facilities and what to look for. Finally, I will discuss the cost of assisted living and whether insurance will pay for it.

This is the best channel on caring for seniors I have found. You're really helping ease my mind and make the best decisions for myself and family. Thank you so much.
Wow! Thank you so much! You are why this channel exists!
I’ve worked in assisted living places you are definitely right about it
This was so helpful for me and my mom! Thank you! I was stressing and having to travel from out of state.
I’m so glad it was helpful!!!
wow i did not know bout add on services for extra$$ this was a very informative video thanks soo much
This was INCREDIBLY helpful!! We’re also in Southern California and learning about the Community fees and how you made a spreadsheet really gives me direction during this challenging time. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
What about when you buy the unit.. and still pay 3000 a month for food... there is no incentive to feed these people heathy food. I' d like like this subject explored. there hase to be a way for people to complain without fearing retrobution
Hi, Sophia. Thank you. I will share your vid as this is very informative :-)
Currently working at a place that has people who cannot get up and go get water from the sink themselves. The company is saying that they are to only have those tiny dixie paper cups to drink out of unless the family brings them a water glass. That I am to immediately stop giving them glasses of water to drink from the facility kitchen. I have also been told that if family did not bring them toilet paper they are not to be given toilet paper. He said that medicaid residents are suppose to buy their own garbage bags, toilet paper and water glasses out of the tiny stipend they get per month. Do I need to just go get another job, or is there something I can do. They have a few hospice residents there who are in the process of dying who are not able to take care of themselves. I am concerned.
Wow, isn't that sad? You didn't say what type of facility you work in. If it's a nursing home, then they should provide all those items. But if it is an assisted living facility, then their contract with the residents probably says that the resident is responsible to purchase such personal items. Maybe you could ask the facility social worker to contact family and ask them to bring in some items. Good luck.
@@SofiaAmirpoor It is an assisted living. So, residents get about 200 cc liquids for dinner. Those little Dixie cups look to be 2-3 ounces. It appears the only way out of there for many of the medicaid residents is to experience the medical complications associated with dehydration.
What about this seniors whole can't meet those outrageous fees?
Some assisted living facilities accept Medicaid like nursing homes do. This does require spending down your assets until you’re at a poverty level though so you have to be willing to do that.
This is very helpful
They are rip offs!
My mother went to live there independently and they assessed her and ended up charging her an additional $1200 a month in Denver. Rip off!!!!!
Can you bring your adult child with you and a support dog? Can Medicare pay for it? What if low income?
That’s such a good question! The adult child would need to meet the age criteria of the facility… and I’d ask the facility of they need to have any physical limitations, but I don’t really think they do. And, yes, I’ve seen plenty of dogs and cats at assisted living facilities! But I suppose that would be up to the particular facility….you’d probably pay a per fee. The owner just needs to be able to care for the pet. I think parent and adult child both moving in is a great idea !
71, homebound & assisted living next. I was in a nice one in 2016 for 2 months & back then it was $3,000 a month plus expenses. Private home but now its like $5,000 & i can't afford. I could smoke my medical marijuana in my room or outside & now it's still important since I have chronic pain but I refuse the vax now. Not an anti-vaxxer just this one.
I'm very scared over the whole ordeal. If i don't like it then where do i go? I have no more options.
& I'm a loner. I'd want my food in my room but would socialize a little in my own timing.
Ok
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Very useful and detail information. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you!
Do you know how much a feasibility report should cost
how's anyone supposed to afford that
Looking for a company to write a feasibility report for a assisted living facility in Arkansas
Sorry Doris, I have no idea what that is! I wish I could help!
What about long term care insurance? Many people have coverage through this.
does medical) pay for assisting living?
@rosamunoz7066 if you mean Medi-Cal in California, you would have to apply for the assisted-living waiver program. If you mean Medicaid, in other states., some states have an assisted living with her program and others do not.

Can I get help finding a assisted living space. I have high cholesterol but I have memory problems
Do a Google search for Assisted Living Placement services near you. These are usually free services, at least I know that A Place for Mom is free. Good luck on your search!
Can you accept resident that is memory care in an assisted living?
In some cases yes. Some assisted living facilities have special units for residents who need memory care, but not all assisted living facilities have this.
And they want all of your money not only all of your money but if you have a husband they want all of your husband's money as well they get everything you nothing.
