      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.
