What You Can Expect

Some assisted living facilities offer short term stays which can be used as a respite service for you and your loved ones and can also be used as a means to "try it out" before making that final decision to move in.

Amenities, cost, terms of lease contracts all vary. Most assisted living facilities accept long-term care health insurance and VA benefits. There are extra fees if you require more hands on care to assist you with bathing and dressing and medication management.

Most of the time an assessment of your current health status will be conducted by the intake department of a facility prior to accepting you. This assessment will determine whether or not you are a candidate for assisted living. Although the laws are slightly different from state to state, the general requirement is that you must be mobile enough to be able to leave the building on your own during an emergency.

Moving from your home can be very traumatic and we understand that. Seniors Approve offers you the option to self-select by reading through and then contacting an assisted-living facility on your own.

However, we have toured each facility and so you are also welcome to phone to learn first hand of the 'atmosphere' of each of the Senior Approved assisted living facilities.
